Stealth Amateur Radio, by Kirk Kleinschmidt, NT0Z
Catch a Falling Star, By Kirk Kleinschmidt Hometown: Little Falls, MN Current Rigs: Terms Greatest challenge facing amateur radio now: young people not entering the hobby, spectrum encroachment, aging population, antenna restrictions from Homeowners associations, perfect storm for amateur radio problems. The dumbing down of amateur radio to attract kids does not create long term commitment. Excited most by: building amateur radio equipment. Advice to new or returning hams: find a mentor to help you pursue your area of interest, watch a lot of YouTube videos. Recognize that ham radio is much wider now than it was previously.
