[Collins] New Addition to the CRA website

[David Knepper]

We want to thank Mike, W3MC, for sending us the electronic story for the
December, 2002, Collins Album insertion on the Collins Radio Association's
website at www.collinsra.com
The article appears at
http://www.collinsra.com/cra_album/0212/cra_0212.html

Mike and his friends are to be congratulated for taking the time to
demonstrate ham radio via Collins radio to a group of great kids.  It kind
of reminded me of how I started in this hobby many years ago when I was a
Scout.  To me, this is what all of us should be challenged to do.  We know
that our ranks are dwindling and we need to get youth involved in our hobby.

I am cc this post to several ARRL officers in hopes that they will print the
material from the CRA website in a future issue of QST or on their website.
Thanks for doing this.

Please pass the word to other organizations that  the CRA releases this
electronic article to any other group or organization for their use.

Thank you and a tip of the hat to Mike, W3MC and his ham friends.
