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

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

The world isn't the same as when we were all 15.

I think what you have to do is find out what excites the kid, and then 
finding a part of amateur radio that matches.

I'm far from 15, but I never got to love CW, even though I made more 
than a few contacts when I had my novice license.

Gotta say SSB isn't that interesting either.

Always liked digital modes, but I think it'd be hard to get the 
texting-generation interested in something that's far more universal in 
the age of social media.

The ideas are great, but the first step in solving a problem is defining 
it.  Want a specific kid involved, find out what they like, what tickles 
their curiosity.
