The Youth and Amateur Radio

In continuing to find ways to introduce amateur radio to the youth, we need to look what happened in the past. Here is video how young people enjoyed amateur radio years ago. This is not the case today. The audio clip underneath hopefully gives and insight why there is little time for the youth in amateur radio today and how grandfathers and mothers can create an interest in amateur radio amongst their grand children.

I do not claim that this is how interest should be created but we need to investigate various methods to hopefully create an interest in amateur radio by the youth.  Many things have changed through the years and we must come up with new methods to assure the future of youth in amateur radio.  If you have any suggestions on how to get the youth involved please email your suggestions to me by clicking HERE.
