[Elecraft] THE EFFORT OF FIELD DAY

[Joe Moffatt]

For everyone that complains about kids and their X Boxes, etc, I have a simple question for you.  Have you ever asked them to participate with you in an event like FD?

Guess what, some of the kids LOVE it.  They like to be included and wanted.    Not all kids are that way, but there are more than you think.  In fact, I have found some of the more gadgety kids take a real interest in CW.  They find using a key to spell their name very intriguing.

Next time you have an event, ask them to come eat some free food and tinker around with you.

joe

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!
