Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.

In the world today, we have many young people using technology
which we of the older generations probably never thought of
as other than a fantasy. For these people, the aura of the
warm glowing radio valves is unknown, unless they are lucky
enough to be introduced to them. But for these young people,
is there the mystique, the magic and allure that once enticed
their grandparents?

If we remember, as adults, what the younger, growing years
are like, they are the time of boundless curiosity and trying
to find our personal place, our niche in the world and
acceptance of our peers. Fortunately, the processes of growing
up do not radically change but the atmosphere, the surroundings
in which this happens does meld and morph as technology
produces more instruments of entertainment in ever smaller
packages. It is a fact that when we enjoy a pursuit, we like
to encourage others to join us in it. Sometimes the years that
have passed do not seem to allow young and parental type
adults to pick up and entice each other into what they feel
are important and esoteric activities. The language of the
peer groups can be a protection for the youth seeking privacy
from parental intrusion and the seeming formality of the older
people can seem a deterrent to the younger. Should these be
irreconcilable?

We need to understand more of what is enthralling to the
generation of the internet and the mobile devices. For the
technologically savvy young person, there should be a welcome
entry into a technological pursuit such as amateur radio. The
different developments which span such a universe of
knowledge in science and technology can engross the mind that
is exploring and learning, assimilating what the world has to
offer.

From satellites and the associated astrophysics and astronomy
to the subterranean pursuits of long wave ground propagation
with the earth sciences and electronic technology the
engagement of amateur radio goes and spreads. We can take our
devices and engage them with other articles and develop
skills in coding and searching out minute pieces of
information. We can talk around the globe with and without
using the internet and we can bounce signals back to earth
from the Moon.
There is so much more that goes with amateur radio such as
friendships that last and last and we may never get to meet
in person. And if we do travel, there are friendly faces who
will welcome us along the way because of this hobby. We can
be makers and developers or just the relaxed hobbiest; we can
be students and use the knowledge from our hobby to become a
professional. We can take part in safety networks and we can
exercise in radio sport, hone our operating skills in
contesting or challenge ourselves to gain certificates and
awards.

With all this at our finger tips, how do we get that person
with the sparkle in the eye to become a participant? How do
we reach out the hand of friendship and tell someone how
great we find this pursuit? How do you who is interested in
science and technology get to meet with us, find a mentor and
get to enjoy the same glow of satisfaction of the hundreds
and thousands of radio amateurs around the world.

Today the world may seem more closed down than it should be
because of the epidemic restrictions. Today radio amateurs
are communicating in so many ways free of those restrictions
because we use the same radio waves that bring the internet
and our family and friends voices to our mobile phones.Today
radio amateurs are relaxing and chatting, challenging
themselves with new skills and today you can join with us too.

We just need to find the words to ask the questions.

I’m Geoff Emery and that’s what I think….how about you?
