[Elecraft] THE FUTURE OF OUR HOBBY

[JP Douglas]

How about, I refuse to have a cell phone! Imagine that, I can get away 
without everybody trying to find me and the government can't track me 
down. If my YL, KB1TCG, really wants to find me when I'm out  she can 
cruise 20 or 40m and find me...

YL has a burner phone in case of emergencies w/daughters and grandson or 
else she wouldn't have one either.

We refuse to play their games.

I go to private schools and do hands on ham radio demos (voice & digi) 
to get youngsters interested as public schools only do as they are 
told.  We had a Prep Fair in town last Oct and did live Winlink Peer 2 
Peer on 20m, Electaft KX3 in our Hambulance in the car park and Kenwood 
TS-480 at the event.

My youngest daughter, 31 and grandson, 7 are studying for their license.

Ham Radio lives on!

Merry Christmas everyone
