[BARC-List] Youth Net - NCS Congratulations

[Frank Murphy]

This weeks CEMARC Youth Net reached its second milestone.

Young Kelsey McGovern, using her father John's call, W1JMC, acted as Net
Control for the net entirely on her own this week.  She performed her net
control duties perfectly by maintaining control, generating a platform for
participant discussion, and overall, sounded like a professional NC with
years of experience.

" Kelsey, congratulations on your performance. "

For those of you who haven't taken the time to encourage young hams, or
future hams that you are aware of, whether your own, a relative , neighbor,
or friend, to join this wonderful group of young adults in their ham radio
experience on the air, shame on you.

If we don't encourage these young adults now, then we are doing them, and
ourselves a disservice.  Take a minute, think of who might enjoy getting on
the air with them. Call their parents. Offer them your assistance in getting
on the air.  Review your club rosters for family memberships, and contact
that member and remind them of the net.  If your connected to a Scout group,
arrange to have them over your shack on Sunday. Thanks to the MMRA linked
system, it's possible for almost any youngster to join in.

It's up to all of us now to help build this fine group.  Keep them active
and help the net grow .  Give our youth a minute of your time, make a call.

note:  Ann Weldon, ka1pon, was presented a well deserved Certificate at the
CEMARC meeting Saturday for her outstanding, and continuing contributions to
the children of the ham community. " Congratulations and Thank You Ann".
Additionally, Kevin ,k 1kwp, and the MMRA were recognized for their
contributions in helping to make the Youth Net a reality.

Remember, this net is for children ONLY.
