5/17 M/M that posted on 3830 operated distributed. So basically 30% of all M/M
experimented in this category. I’m already in contact - they reached out to us
from M/M stations in Europe on how to do.
My post is about the excitement it has generated with young people and some of
us OM. We have a youth program that is growing just not here in the USA but
worldwide. The very first dedicated youth station is on the air from Europe
(Croatia) for young hams under the age of 26. We are doing the same with
generous hams or organizations in England, Norway, Puerto Rico and USA right
now, these locations will come online soon. It gets even better, youths are
giving back to youths. We have a few youths on the program that have opened up
their own personal station(s) for other youths to enjoy. Anyone that follows me
on social media knows about all of this.
We’re not doing this alone, we have generous station owners, organizations and
Flex Radio all joining forces to make this happen. We have an announcement
forthcoming on the organizations that have joined forces.
Young people are attracted to contesting - it’s like gaming to them. Just look
at CWT results - you have some playing with the best in the world. Two of the
youths actually experimented in a M/2 distributed in CWT at the 0300 session
this Weds and made 300 Q’s and 70,000+ points but didn’t submit a score because
the category doesn’t exist, they did it to have fun. These are just some of the
cool things you may not be hearing or seeing but it’s actually happening.
This is my last post on this subject here. You can follow us on FB or Twitter
to get the latest updates on what’s happening.
