Everyone, I am excited to bring back Bruce Blain, K1BG to speak at BARS! You may remember his talk with us about The Entry Level License: What’s Worked and What Hasn’t. Bruce has an eye for spotting opportunities about influencing the young folks and getting their interest piqued for amateur radio.
Recently, Bruce enlisted three other Nashoba Valley Amateur Radio Club members to assist him in judging a school science fair. This was an opportunity for NVARC to connect with youth and educators AND parents, with the hope of generating more budding hams. You can see how this has potential for rejuvenating our hobby.
Bruce will describe what happened and I am sure he will field questions we all have about why ham radio’s average age keeps climbing each year and what we can do about it.
Please come and support Bruce, and thank him for speaking for a fellow Club!
Andy
