Unfortunately, I dropped out of Ham radio to work on S/360 OS/MVT
and then MVS systems so I didn't have the first hand experience of
seeing the dieoff.

Same hear, running around fixing 360 main frames and related I/O kept me
too busy to ham much.

Both of you (as well as myself) *WERE* the die off....

And, I suppose, I: my Novice lapsed while I was off at school, then
I started working in the space program (read "6 or 7 12-hour shifts
most weeks"), then went in the military (read "no time while in tech
school, then no time while out of country") and then got into ...
working on MFT-II, MVT, and MVS systems, like No Spam.

Then I started acquiring boatanchors, after my late wife died. Some of
them actually have been known to work.

But I'm gonna get my General ticket Real Soon Now!
