[Elecraft] Effective ways to introduce amateur radio to newcomers?

[a******@sbcglobal]

A few men from church (Our Lady of the Assumption, Walton, KY) expressed their curiosity and interest to me so we kicked off with a meeting at my house for old-fashioneds and intro to ham radio. We have a chat on Signal where I prod them with things like announcements of upcoming hamfests and recordings of really loud signals from South Africa. So far one new ham and six or seven waiting in the wings.
