I dont question the "Extra" however I dont think the majority of these 
operators are less than 50 years of age.
I will admit that there are now many QRQ operators on who are using 
keyboards and code readers;  this is a much different category than the 
manual operator.

In any event......long live CW......it will always be my favorite mode.
