Guys! Your point is well taken. There are more of us than aging WASP straight men. Unfortunately, that is the majority and the reality. We're not fighting to have STEM included in the schools that includes all forms of RF technology. Ham radio used as labs are very practical demonstrations. I can't get interns as future broadcast RF engineers because they just aren't there. Why would the youth bother when broadcasting is viewed as a dying technology? Please look at my profile picture. You'll likely make assumptions, many of which are wrong. I'm a Black-Native American. My hair isn't grey enough to give away my age. My religion doesn't fit into nice, neat boxes beyond Christian. My family tree is well-structured. I am sis-gender male but I am very comfortable with those who are not. I have a place in ham radio society, and I encourage others to join because I believe that ham radio is inclusive among most of us (including snobby Extras like me, hi-hi)! -73-
