> AND their survey of 'old hams' (life=long radio opeators) mortality
> rate versus the general public's reveals????????

A shortened life span due to a sedentary lifestyle, a propensity to smoke,
driver inattention in the vehicle, touching the B+ supply, falling from
towers, falling off the roof while trying to de-ice the rotater and antenna,
being struck by falling towers, being struck by lightning, and finally,
angry spouses and neighbors wanting to watch TV or talk on the telephone.
;-)  It's a wonder Ham's live to grow old at all.
