Hmm..I don't know..
But I found all these cool people who were OLD..
Roger Claridge, ZL1RH, of Taupo, New Zealand, turned 100 years old on June 14, 1996, and remains active, nearly 70 years after he got his first ham ticket. A World War I veteran, Claridge was originally licensed as ZL2GV in 1928. Once active on HF, he limits his hamming these days to 2-meter FM.
William F. "Bill" Diaper, KJ6KQ, of Union City, California, appears to hold the honor of oldest radioamateur in the US--and quite possibly the world. Diaper, who turned 104 years old August 12, is anative of Great Britain. He now lives in a long-term care facility, but an acquaintance, Thomas "Fergy"Ferguson, N6SSQ, reports that Diaper remains alert and active and occasionally has gotten on theair from a ham shack in the facility's basement.
W1UHI Ernest Wheatley Was once known as the "oldest living US ham," died at age 106 in 1993
W5BQU Byrl H. "Tex" Burdick, Sr. Reputed to be "oldest [living] ham in the US"; turned 103 years old on 25-SEP-2003
W5QN Wilbur "Bill" Dearing Member of the "oldest US ham" club, according to the ARRL, having replaced George "Dewey" Wilson, W7HF, who died at age 102 on 08-JUL-2000 |

Tech291,
You are the WINNER of a Free JUMBO Pack of OREOS from KB. 
I believe he said he would send them to the winner by Air Mail on his favorite air carrier, BUZZARD AIRLINES.

Jason, Old KB is in his 60s, close to me and I'm 67. I think I'm the third oldest CEF member or on The Copper Forum unless I've lost count, Lon just turned 54 and unless I'm wrong KB is around 62 or 63. Oreos it is by Buzzard Airlines of California.
Gotta love that cow of yours. |

And I am glad you asked what I caught at the lake yesterday, a 24 inch Rainbow trout that fought for 13 minutes, my grag did no good and I had to tire him and he earned his freedom, |
