[CW] cw operator's age

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

One thing I've always maintained was that I like CW because all the 
operators I meet on the CW bands know how to read and write.

With the government schools of today, it seems many fewer are so skilled.

Therefore, we have a decline in our numbers.

I recorded the ages of the past 26 ops I contacted on 40 meter CW who 
volunteered their age. The average age for the 26 ops is 65. The youngest 
was 49 and the oldest was 91. Six were in the 50's age group. 13 were in the 
60's age group. 3 were in the 70's age group. 2 were in the 80's age group. 
One each in the 49 and 90 age group. What do you make of this?
