I don't think that makes you an old fart at all. I am a middle aged fart 
myself, 75% of the folks that I have on facebook or myspace are ham related, 
there is a lot of very large groups just for ham radio. When someone will 
post something like "hey 6m is open and I am on 50.???" I will right away 
jump on the freq and see if we can have a QSO.
Just like this group and hundreds of yahoo groups they all have the same 
reasoning, we chase each other and more.
For the past few days 15, 17 and 10 were open, I posted this and a bunch of 
folks came and joined in on the fun.

Just like someone else said, this group has a face book page, the 
Freewheelers Group has a page, DX groups have a page and when you post to 
the group it goes to everyone, with some of the groups that is way over 2000 
people from around the world. Now that's hell of a round robin!

The new technology is here to stay for a long time, it is a great tool to 
have in your bag to chase the grids and or DX. I guess it does come down to 
personal preference as well.  I don't "twit" at all myself but I know lots 
of hams do.


When 6 starts to open more I would be happy to have a QSO with you, EM84km 
if you need it.
Maybe post what freq you are on here?..hi hi
