Greatest challenge facing amateur radio now: losing our Elmer and founders of the hobby, because they provide a sense of purpose.  

Excited most by: evolution of the culture and the way interactions between hams, inclusion. 

Advice to new or returning hams: join a club and be a regular contributor.  Every amateur has something to offer.  Then find your passion.
