   DMR is the cheapest of the DV modes to get into, as there's a few budget priced   
   radios around that apparently work reasonably well.  I got mine for the best   
   price of all - won 2 DMR HTs in a Facebook promotion/competition. :)

   I'm 50 and the vast majority of hams in the local club are older than me.    
   There are a handful of younger ones around too.  I'm also rather unusual for a   
   ham, being physically active as well.  My idea of "radiosport" is not sitting   
   around racking up points in a contest, but something more like ARDF. :)  I do   
   hope we can get more younger hams, there's a lot of knowledge and experience in   
   our club that needs to be passed on, before it's too late.

   For the record, I'm in Australia. :)  David's in Israel, IIRC.
