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

[Alan Geller]

Here is one more approach:

I took a pine 1X2 and cut it into 3” pieces ; then screwed a couple of Fahnstock clips into the
tops of each one near the ends. I then selected an assortment of 2 node components plus a
pile of 6” cut copper wire pieces.
Whoopee…we could then make stuff…doorbell plus switch, simple diode rcvr, then one with a
single transistor audio amp plus speaker (needs 3 NODE block), morse code key and buzzer
etc etc
Tiny stuff can be intimidating…so the blocks fit his way of playing and we were off and running.
A regen rcvr on a board for 40M can be a jump step and its all fun.
