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
