[Elecraft] Hallicrafters HA-1 with O/T comments

Doug:

You are correct - and it seems that Maker Ffaires might be the venue for amateur radio outreach to the younger generation.
When I am retired, I certainly would like to be part of this initiative.  Is this something the ARRL should look at?
I am happy to say that I am an Elmer to KB1YNK, who presented a paper at Dayton a couple of years ago.

You are very mistaken in your statement regarding kids not building things.  They're not building ham radio, that's for sure.  But find any maker faire and you will be stunned by the age and ability of the kids demonstrating their projects.  Maker Faires (Their preferred spelling it
seems) would be a great place to communicate ham radio to the younger generation. Arduino and Raspberry PI have enormous followings by teenagers and even a lot of pre-teens. Don't write them off! Our community has done a poor job of out reach to the teens of today.
