Young people are impressionable, let's work with them and support change.

If we as Amateur Radio Operators refuse to support change, nurture the young, support their interest and help promote the new technology we are going to perish. These young people don't care about (CW) and (HF) phone, they want Computers, Pagers, Cell phones and the inter-net. They dodn't even want (HTs). Anyway while my Grandson and I were out on a Xmas shopping spree today and as we were motoring along, my Grandson saw a Taxicab with an antenna on top of the cab and he says Grandpa is that an Old [#@$+x]I said no, my Grandson then saw a United Parcel Truck with an antenna on top of the Truck and he says Grandpa is that an Old [#@$+x] and I said, I don't think so. Later as we were continuing along, my Grandson says look Grandpa!!!!!, it was a Jeep Cherokee with a (Outbacker) antenna on the left rear, my Grandson asked me, Grandpa is that an Old [#@$+x] I said yes and my Grandson replied "I thought so" Let's get rid of that old (Code) and embrace the new technology along with the young people. So Long (CW) Farewell Amateur Radio.
