I got interested in radio at age 10 when my father brought me a regenerative receiver kit with three type 76 tubes (1948). About that time he brought me a copy of the 1941 ARRL Handbook which I read cover to cover. But I was frustrated learning CW on my own until a buddy next door also got interested and we started chatting between our houses using some homebuilt morse buzzers (with a wire strung between the houses).
So I suggest something would engage him with a buddy. Today that can be done via the internet (back then "hi tech" was a radio in the living room). Perhaps something like this: http://internetcw.weebly.com/ or http://www.mrx.com.au/d_cwcom.htm 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Niel Skousen Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2015 3:46 PM To: [email protected]; Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Looking for Grandkid radio Found out last night that one of grandsons (6 1/2 yr) has developed an interest in Morse code and radios. Who know how long it will last 8-) BUT in the interest of feed the fire, I'm looking for something that I can help him listen on at his house ... Anybody got anything collecting dust that needs a new home ??
