I got my license when I was around 37 and was already very familiar with the internet. So the long distance communications part of Amateur Radio was less interesting to me, I was more interested in shorter range VHF/UHF disaster communications. And still am, I still participate in diaster drills and the occasional special event (running, biking, etc) support.
