[SOC] " nobody's perfect "

[Tony Cobb]

Hi,
     Just remember that youngsters are the future of amateur radio! Last
year, for fun, I did a few QSOs in 2 of the YOTA contests. I was 69
years old then & I worked a Hungarian station where the operator was 11
years old. I felt very old at that point! And to make things worse, the
teenage operators in those contests were very good on the air.

Regards,

Tony
