[Elecraft] Suggestions for Introducing a 10-year-old to Amateur Radio and Electronics

[Don Wilhelm]

Ted,

G3RJV - the Reverend George Dobbs has spent a lot of time and energy 
creating easy to build radios.  He has also done a lot with children to 
help their interest in building and radio.
His name is familiar to most QRPers and until last year has presented at 
FDIM - always quite interesting.

He has publish many articles and books, but one that may be of interest 
is available online at 
http://www.mds975.co.uk/Content/george_dobbs_trf_radio.html.

Inexpensive materials and easy to build are two things that George 
always adhered to.

73,
Don W3FPR
