It's 00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:43.690 great to talk to you again and we're looking 00:08:43.690 --> 00:08:48.909 forward to the forums. Let's start off with the 00:08:48.909 --> 00:08:51.730 Instructor's Forum. That's going to take place 00:08:51.730 --> 00:08:56.129 on Friday morning of Hamvention. At 10 .30 a 00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:58.750 .m. that goes until 12 noon. That's in Forum 00:08:58.750 --> 00:09:04.470 Room 3 in the main arena there. It's kind of 00:09:04.470 --> 00:09:08.549 in the middle. There's a little overhang outside 00:09:08.549 --> 00:09:11.990 where the forums are. Just check in there and 00:09:11.990 --> 00:09:15.600 look for Forum Room 3. So tell us a little bit 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.039 about the instructors forum and who should be 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.159 attending this forum. Is it just for school teachers? 00:09:22.419 --> 00:09:26.299 Is it for instructors of ham classes? Tell us 00:09:26.299 --> 00:09:32.259 who should show up to this. Well, primarily we 00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:39.320 invite people who already are involved with a 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.750 youth group, be it scouts, be it teaching in 00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:48.389 a classroom or an instructor, anybody who's involved 00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:51.889 with teaching youngsters about amateur radio 00:09:51.889 --> 00:09:57.629 in a group or classroom setting. Or another reason 00:09:57.629 --> 00:10:01.570 for coming would be if you are thinking about 00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:05.340 doing something like that and would like some 00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:09.600 idea of how to get help and resources. This is 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.600 the forum to come to for networking and for sharing 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.320 of ideas amongst Scout leaders, instructors, 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.720 teachers, and those who are just looking for 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:26.799 good ideas for recruiting young people. That's 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.240 who should be at this forum. Okay, very good. 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:33.139 Well that that encompasses a lot of people that 00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:36.860 if you're recruiting and teaching Ham radio in 00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:38.940 in any fashion that there's there's something 00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:42.500 there to take away So tell our listeners exactly 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:46.100 what they can expect to to take away from that 00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:51.600 form Well beside the sharing of ideas and the 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.750 networking and the resources that they will be 00:10:55.750 --> 00:11:00.210 told about and handouts that will be given out. 00:11:00.789 --> 00:11:05.409 We also try to reserve some time after each speaker 00:11:05.409 --> 00:11:08.190 has done their presentation, and I've got three 00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:14.250 of them this year, to ask questions. So hopefully 00:11:14.250 --> 00:11:17.429 by speaking with the experts in their respective 00:11:17.429 --> 00:11:22.039 fields, people will leave that forum not only 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.559 being more knowledgeable and having more resources 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.100 to refer to, but that they will become motivated. 00:11:29.659 --> 00:11:32.740 That's the main thing, to become motivated and 00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:36.259 to know that they're not alone out there, that 00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:39.639 unlike when I started this so many years ago, 00:11:39.929 --> 00:11:43.409 where there were very, very few resources to 00:11:43.409 --> 00:11:46.570 go to. There are many out there now, many people 00:11:46.570 --> 00:11:50.330 who will be willing to help and many resources 00:11:50.330 --> 00:11:53.529 in whatever venue you would be working with young 00:11:53.529 --> 00:11:57.529 people. Very, very good. Well, I've come away 00:11:57.529 --> 00:12:00.269 with many valuable resources from this forum 00:12:00.269 --> 00:12:03.549 over the years, so if you get a chance, stop 00:12:03.549 --> 00:12:07.379 by the... Instructor's Forum, again, it's Friday 00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:11.100 from 1030 a .m. to noon in Forum Room 3. And 00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:13.759 tell us just a little bit about who your three 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.379 presenters are this year and what their topics 00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:21.440 will be. Okay, great, Neil. This year, I chose 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.179 to pick people who would be able to speak knowledgeably 00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:32.860 about three frequently asked questions that I 00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:37.639 get as I travel across the country. I will have 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.620 Bob, Ka2PBT, who is a friend of mine, who was 00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:47.659 very active in a high school. with ham radio 00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:51.600 as a major part of its curriculum and he's going 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.320 to be speaking about how to advance amateur radio 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.559 in the school system and he will have two of 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.059 his high school students doing a little demonstration 00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:06.419 of how wonderful this is to have in a high school, 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:11.320 they will be speaking about an antenna and engineering 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.039 design competition that they recently won. So 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.500 you'll get to see the kids actually validating 00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:21.779 what he will be speaking about. And then we have 00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:25.720 Sam Rose, who is going to be speaking about the 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:31.620 advantages of college. ham radio programs. And 00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:34.840 this is also a new initiative that I'm working 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.980 on a task force with the ARRL about, about how 00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:44.220 we can get amateur radio in more colleges and 00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:47.059 universities and what those advantages would 00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:51.000 be. And then we have somebody you know quite 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:56.100 well. We have Maria Lysandro. Probably one of 00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:59.779 the most frequently asked questions I get is 00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:04.440 about how to attract females into amateur radio. 00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:07.679 And that's what Maria is going to be speaking 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:12.220 about, ideas of attracting females into the hobby 00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:17.779 and service, and some really good ideas about 00:14:17.779 --> 00:14:21.820 how to do that. So those are going to be my three 00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:26.850 presenters at that forum. Excellent and yes I'm 00:14:26.850 --> 00:14:29.070 showing a little bias toward the third one since 00:14:29.070 --> 00:14:33.710 she's one of my students and her older brother 00:14:33.710 --> 00:14:36.809 was was one of the youth forum speakers a few 00:14:36.809 --> 00:14:40.909 years ago and and so I definitely have some some 00:14:40.909 --> 00:14:44.350 bias there but we're working on Maria's presentation 00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:47.029 and she has some some really cool ideas so I'm 00:14:47.029 --> 00:14:50.269 looking forward to to see how that all falls 00:14:50.269 --> 00:14:54.039 together So, speaking of the Youth Forum, let's 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.240 switch over to the Youth Forum, which is on Saturday 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:02.399 morning of Hamvention. That goes from 9 .15 a 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:07.240 .m. until noon. There's an hour that's almost 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:12.580 all prize giveaway at this thing. We recognize 00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:16.450 the young people. We recognize the kids. that 00:15:16.450 --> 00:15:18.950 are there, and the ones that are speaking, and 00:15:18.950 --> 00:15:21.210 then there's also prizes for the adults, and 00:15:21.210 --> 00:15:24.549 we'll talk more about that after the break. But 00:15:24.549 --> 00:15:29.970 that's in Forum Room 2, and that's always a well 00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:32.549 -attended forum, so you want to get there early 00:15:32.549 --> 00:15:37.470 and get your seat. Again, 9 .15 a .m. for that 00:15:37.470 --> 00:15:40.850 one on Saturday. So tell us who should be attending 00:15:40.850 --> 00:15:47.519 this forum. In one word... everybody. This is 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:52.299 the forum that anybody who's partaking in amateur 00:15:52.299 --> 00:15:57.379 radio should come to because it's showing support 00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:02.460 for our young hams. So regardless of what aspect 00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:06.419 of the hobby you are involved with, it's critical 00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:10.460 that we support the future. And the future, very 00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:14.240 simply put, is with our young hams. And this 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:18.340 year, I guarantee you will be so impressed. I 00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:23.799 have a record -breaking 11 young speakers. Actually, 00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:28.299 10 will be speaking. And the 11th is Maria. who 00:16:28.299 --> 00:16:31.799 is considered one of my young presenters, but 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.700 she is going to be taking over the topic at the 00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:37.299 instructor's forum about getting girls involved. 00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:40.919 But each one is more impressive than the next. 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:46.720 And about an hour and a half of the forum is 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.679 devoted to those young presenters speaking about 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.539 all different topics in amateur radio, which 00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:57.389 we can speak a little bit about later. And the 00:16:57.389 --> 00:17:00.389 second hour, I usually have guest speakers coming 00:17:00.389 --> 00:17:03.919 in, well -known people in amateur radio. Last 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.740 year, of course, we had the astronaut. No such 00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:09.859 promise this year. But we usually have interesting 00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:12.880 people and interesting announcements being made 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:17.619 during the second part. And the last hour, as 00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:21.779 you said, is literally devoted to giving away 00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:25.059 the prizes to the youngsters in the audience, 00:17:25.299 --> 00:17:28.339 to the adults who come to show support for our 00:17:28.339 --> 00:17:32.039 young hams. and certainly to the presenters. 00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:35.799 So my answer is everybody who's interested in 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.500 the future should comment. I guarantee you won't 00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:42.400 be sorry. It's quite something impressive to 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:46.720 see. It is always an impressive sight. So come 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.200 by the Youth Forum again that Saturday morning 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.799 of Hamvention at 9 15 a .m. and run through your 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.900 presenters, your young presenters real quick. 00:17:56.430 --> 00:17:59.569 and a quick synopsis of what they'll be talking 00:17:59.569 --> 00:18:03.769 about this year.

And by the way, the way I met Marty, 00:31:29.650 --> 00:31:34.869 we were at Boxborough in Boston in August. And 00:31:34.869 --> 00:31:39.109 about five minutes after speaking with him, I 00:31:39.109 --> 00:31:43.490 said, you're hired. And I immediately gave him 00:31:43.490 --> 00:31:47.309 an invitation to come to Dayton. So I'm glad 00:31:47.309 --> 00:31:52.259 I had my scouting. scouting for talent hat on 00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:55.619 that afternoon because he's in high demand. But 00:31:55.619 --> 00:31:58.279 let me speak with you about the Young Ham Lenza 00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:03.640 Hand Contest. This year's winner will be announced 00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:09.200 at the Youth Forum. This, and I'd like your people 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:13.859 to know that for next year you can nominate somebody. 00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:18.099 It's very informal. All you do is send me an 00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:22.460 email with the name and age, 18 or below, of 00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:27.619 a licensed ham radio operator who has... given 00:32:27.619 --> 00:32:33.099 back in the spirit of amateur radio to his community, 00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:38.319 to his school, to friends, to recruiting, to 00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:45.000 military personnel, to senior citizens, somebody 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:53.390 18 or below who is using his license to to get 00:32:53.390 --> 00:32:56.450 other people interested in communications and 00:32:56.450 --> 00:33:00.549 technology. There's a wide range of service that 00:33:00.549 --> 00:33:03.990 we would consider to be noteworthy that a youngster 00:33:03.990 --> 00:33:06.829 can be performing. And you just have to write 00:33:06.829 --> 00:33:13.009 me a brief little synopsis of what that youngster 00:33:13.009 --> 00:33:17.329 has done to contribute in some way. and that 00:33:17.329 --> 00:33:20.210 we can show that we appreciate and give support 00:33:20.210 --> 00:33:23.690 to what he's doing, he or she is doing. And they 00:33:23.690 --> 00:33:29.529 do get a $100 cash stipend. If they're not at 00:33:29.529 --> 00:33:32.450 Dayton, it will of course be sent to them. But 00:33:32.450 --> 00:33:35.329 I would like to share with you that this year 00:33:35.329 --> 00:33:39.230 there were seven youngsters who were recommended 00:33:39.230 --> 00:33:43.670 and I sat with my committee and we really had 00:33:43.670 --> 00:33:47.990 to think long and hard over which one to choose. 00:33:48.130 --> 00:33:51.829 That's how good and what a good thing for us 00:33:51.829 --> 00:33:54.190 to know that this is who's out there. What a 00:33:54.190 --> 00:33:57.190 good thing for us to know that there are these 00:33:57.190 --> 00:34:01.230 kids out there in the true spirit of one of the 00:34:01.230 --> 00:34:05.069 tenets of amateur radio. That's the Young Ham 00:34:05.069 --> 00:34:10.530 Lens A Hand contest. Very good. We look forward 00:34:10.530 --> 00:34:16.000 to to hearing who wins that as always. So that's 00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:18.500 something else coming up on the Youth Forum. 00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:23.039 That's again Saturday at 9 15 a .m. until noon 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:27.880 in room two at the Dayton Hamvention. Okay we've 00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:29.920 got time for another call so let's see if we 00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.159 can get another call in here. It's 812 -NET -HAM 00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:37.820 -1 812 -NET -HAM -1 or Skype at HamTalk Live. 00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:40.940 And we'll see if we can get one more in here. 00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:45.800 And then we're going to give Carol a break and 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.619 let her go back to doing all this paperwork to 00:34:48.619 --> 00:34:54.260 get ready for this. And also see if we can make 00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:56.539 somebody out there a winner. We're going to try 00:34:56.539 --> 00:35:00.440 some trivia tonight. Real simple, multiple choice 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:03.900 trivia question tonight. So we're taking it easy 00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:06.920 on you. Yeah. Neil, if I might, one more thing. 00:35:08.170 --> 00:35:15.250 This is the 29th annual youth forum. Next year, 00:35:15.250 --> 00:35:18.989 obviously, will be the 30th. And one of the things 00:35:18.989 --> 00:35:21.769 I'm going to be throwing out to the audience 00:35:21.769 --> 00:35:24.489 and that we've already begun to do as I speak 00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:28.070 at different forums around the country is to 00:35:28.070 --> 00:35:33.400 solicit suggestions of... what you think we can 00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:37.679 be doing for the 30th, three decades worth of 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.920 the instructor and youth forum to make it be 00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.400 super special next year. And I will tell you, 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:48.019 one of the things I am definitely going to have 00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:53.699 will be a segment on where are they now? Many 00:35:53.699 --> 00:35:57.860 of the speakers stay in touch with me. And now 00:35:57.860 --> 00:36:00.460 we're talking about doing this over three decades. 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.139 Most of them are obviously well into adulthood 00:36:05.139 --> 00:36:11.300 in interesting careers and personal avocations, 00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:14.539 et cetera. And we're going to have a segment 00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:17.780 of what the most impressive of these are of where 00:36:17.780 --> 00:36:21.219 these youngsters as a result, partly of their 00:36:21.219 --> 00:36:24.820 exposure at the Dayton Youth Forum have ended 00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:27.820 up. I think that's going to be fascinating. I 00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:31.739 remember 25 and it was very very interesting 00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:35.840 to hear What they have done. So that sounds great. 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.619 So you have an idea Be sure to pass that along 00:36:39.619 --> 00:36:43.519 and you can do that now if you want that 812 00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:49.679 net ham one or Skype at ham talk live and You 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.659 can do that or any other question you have for 00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:55.460 Carol. We have just a couple of minutes left 00:36:55.460 --> 00:36:59.639 for you to call so We'll stand by here for a 00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:04.019 moment and see if you do. Carol, I just want 00:37:04.019 --> 00:37:09.079 to again thank you for taking time out to do 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:13.500 this, but the amount of time that goes into putting 00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:16.679 this whole thing together, the Youth Forum by 00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:19.019 itself, let alone the Instructor's Forum too, 00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:25.699 is just immense. On behalf of everybody out there. 00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:29.219 We thank you for putting all of this together 00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:32.960 Well, thank you for all the support, especially 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.800 you through the years we go back a long way It 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:44.000 has been a long time. So All right. Well, okay. 00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:50.989 Oh I have a question on Twitter That says what 00:37:50.989 --> 00:37:55.130 can we do to get more young people on HF DXing 00:37:55.130 --> 00:38:04.989 and contesting? So Carol well Well Just as with 00:38:04.989 --> 00:38:10.530 any aspect of amateur radio Get the children 00:38:10.530 --> 00:38:15.610 or the young person Exposed to all the fun that 00:38:15.610 --> 00:38:20.099 those venues offer When I taught this, because 00:38:20.099 --> 00:38:24.639 I was limited to classroom time, I always had 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:29.019 those kids who were interested get fed into the 00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:33.440 local amateur radio clubs. And they would be 00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:35.940 prepared that when some of my students were coming 00:38:35.940 --> 00:38:40.019 to a meeting, they would be set up to show different 00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:46.070 areas of the fun of be it whatever it was, doing 00:38:46.070 --> 00:38:51.630 Morse code, HF, satellite communications, doing 00:38:51.630 --> 00:38:55.449 flea markets, field day, et cetera. The idea 00:38:55.449 --> 00:38:59.170 is to expose them to something in a fun way. 00:38:59.389 --> 00:39:02.269 And heaven knows, we all believe that it's really 00:39:02.269 --> 00:39:06.849 fun. And to show what the value of it is, the 00:39:06.849 --> 00:39:10.769 comradership between the children who participate 00:39:10.769 --> 00:39:14.110 in it, kids their own age. And I'm pleased to 00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:17.349 report there is just a total upswing of young 00:39:17.349 --> 00:39:20.409 people getting involved for different reasons 00:39:20.409 --> 00:39:23.610 than they did years ago, but nevertheless still 00:39:23.610 --> 00:39:26.809 getting involved in very large numbers. And it's 00:39:26.809 --> 00:39:30.480 always the... exposure to it. And if it's not 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.860 directly in the family by a family member, showing 00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:38.980 them the fun of getting on a radio and communicating, 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:42.199 then it's by taking the kids to places where 00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.139 they will see it. Look up where your local club 00:39:45.139 --> 00:39:50.400 is. Go into a school. That's my best suggestion. 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.440 Go into a school. And if you don't have the ability 00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:59.320 to get a program or a club started, then go in 00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:02.579 and do a demonstration. And here's my good idea 00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:06.659 that always works. Go get the principal to allow 00:40:06.659 --> 00:40:10.340 you to go in during lunchtime. Set up the rig 00:40:10.340 --> 00:40:14.579 in the cafeteria. Have the kids line up to say 00:40:14.579 --> 00:40:18.099 a couple of words on the microphone and of course 00:40:18.099 --> 00:40:21.559 have your people standing by at the other end 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:26.219 to welcome them and to say a few words. But the 00:40:26.219 --> 00:40:30.400 kids love to get on a radio and experience that. 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:33.900 You'll have a line all around the cafeteria and 00:40:33.900 --> 00:40:36.860 then... have one of the teachers invite you to 00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:40.320 come back to say, and here's how you too can 00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:43.760 get involved with this. There are no age requirements. 00:40:44.420 --> 00:40:48.039 And the thing is to get that first spark by exposing 00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:52.659 them in a fun way. All right. There you have 00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:56.760 it. There's your answer. So again, Carol is moderating 00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.880 the instructor's forum on Friday of Hamvention 00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:03.260 in room 3 and that starts at 1030 a .m. And the 00:41:03.260 --> 00:41:05.679 youth forum is on Saturday of Hamvention in room 00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:09.960 2 from 915 a .m. Until noon.
