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

[Gary Hawkins]

I'll try a completely different tack.

If you like the outdoors, how about Summits-on-the-Air (SOTA)? You'll get to spend time planning your SOTA adventure, and taking the hike to the peak.  He'll get to see you operating and hopefully that will encourage him to be interested as well. He can help you to build things like portable antennas and battery packs. If you get really adventurous one day adventures can turn into weekend camping.

My daughter is 3 years old. We have started her on short hikes and I hopeful next year she can do her first small peaks. Not sure how I'll keep her entertained on the summit but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
