[FARC] Ham Radio for 7 year olds

[Bob Moroney]

Joe,

If you haven't already done so, you might want to try to contact someone 
in the AARC to set up a QSO for the time period you'll be doing the 
program. 

 From what I've seen, GOTA is where it's at for kids around that age, 
rather than *any* amount of yakking about theory, rules, etc.

Plus, of all the Ham clubs in the area, AARC seems to consistently get 
the most young Hams on the air during contests and other events, so they 
may be more willing/able to help, perhaps even getting someone from the 
*same generation* as your Cub Scouts on the air to talk with them.

Good luck!
Bob
