[AMRadio] hamfests

[david knepper]

Is ham radio dying - not when enterprising hams begin to spend some time 
encouraging their kids, wife, and grandchildren to get interested in this 
great hobby.
How many of us have ever invited the neighbor over to see the shack.

Be positive and the world comes to your doorstep.
