Attracting youth to ham radio: Get out of their way!

ICQ Amateur / Ham Radio Podcast presenter Frank Howell K4FMH says radio amateurs should encourage, sponsor and assist young people to create their own youth-driven groups. Get out of their way but be available to help when called upon.

The article notes that the RSGB and ARRL could:

  • tag youth-driven or youth-oriented clubs in their Find-A-Club databases

  • buy adverts in gaming magazines

  • provide a “build a club” set of actions to help young people Start Their Own Club
