I am happy to report that my 11 year old son, who plays on a PS4, a Xbox, and his own computer, participated in FD at my local club's operation for his first time.
He made 63 Qs with help from Dear Old Dad on the GOTA station. He is also studying for his Technician class license. He said over and over again, "Best weekend ever!" to both his mother and me. He's already planning for next year. BTW, we had two other youths at the site who have been hams for years now. They both have very active lives outside of ham radio, but they still love the hobby. Don't give up on our youth! Ham radio still holds appeal! 73, Tony K4QE (licensed at age 14 over 37 years ago) On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 7:25 PM, Bill <w2...@nycap.rr.com> wrote: > "Bring on the youngsters?????????"
