The way to pull the younger folks into the hobby is to have some of the younger hams in this booth promoting the hobby. A bunch of us old guys could sit in there but the way to get the younger generation is to show them where the value is by people who are like them sho can relate to where they are. I dont know what our roster looks like for those under 40, but I would hope we could get some of our younger members to step up.
