[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 seems reasonable.  I agree with your comments on MW DXer demographics.  Those of us currently 40-65 might be the last generation to enjoy this hobby.  :>(
