@homesteadingmama, a lot of HAMs, at least the one I hear on the air, are quite old here too, but I think there are younger people getting the license too, just they have not much time to spend on the air chatting. A lot of the nets are held in times I, having a family, do not find convenient so I end up not participating.
I agree with you that communication will happen, but it would be much better if there was an existing network that knows how to work together and that know each other, even if it is just over the air.
About the tribes, I actually tend to be against any group that is too homogeneous. I am not preparing for a set scenario so having people with different ideas and experience is, to me, vital. That’s what turned me off about the groups I had some contact with. They were so focused on some scenario that their plans where vulnerable to any other happening.
