10-year-old UK Radio Ham
Whilst the uneducated perception is of Amateur radio as a hobby for older people, at the Burton Amateur Radio Club, UK, steps are being taken to promote a more youthful member amongst the 15 Adult members,
Ben Cridland, from Swadlincote first started going to the weekly meetings, held at the Stapenhill Institute, with his father, Rob Cridland G7LAS three years ago - and now he is completely hooked.
The 10-year-old explained that his love for amateur radio comes from the number of different opportunities that come from being involved.
