[IRCA] 2 Cape Cod DXers make newspaper

[midcapemarc@xxxxxxxxxxx (Marc DeLorenzo)]

Thanks, Patrick.  Chris came up with the (approximate) 900 number.  I'm not sure how he arrived at that  number but it sounds reasonable.   I agree with your comments on MW DXer demographics.    Those of us currently 40-65 may be the last generation to enjoy this hobby.   :>(
