    "content": "Hi Alex,\nMy comments are interspersed, but you are right on target, with your \nopinions, and the fact that I've been into ham radio since I was 14 \n(72 years ago) does not qualify me as an expert, but I've been exposed.\n\nI've seen interest in ham operation go up and down throughout the years.\nAccounting? I really have none.\n\nWith the exception of my own grandson who lived with us in his \nformative years...At five he learned the code (21 years ago), and was \ndetermined to become licensed. Just about that time we got our first \ncomputer, and his eyes shined with this new interest...The intrigue \nwas so great that ham radio took a background, and I think that is \nwhat happened to a lot of his contemporaries...\n\nHe is now working at Qualcomm in computer engineering, going to \nschool for it, but is still an unlicensed member of our ham club...He \nwill get it when he is ready...\n\nThe computer no longer holds the fascination or the challenge it once did.\nHam radio still does, and my prediction is that is once again its \nchallenge will attract that group again....The computer, for most, \nwill remain a tool, just as a wrench or a screwdriver....\n\nAMSAT-NA has failed miserably in attracting this group through lack \nof information, and education, but it too will get back on track, \nonce that dawns on the powers that be...\n\n>Are there really just that many more active hams on the east coast? It\n>seems hard to believe.\n\nNo, not really, Project Oscar that launched the first satellite Oscar \nOne was conceived and came to fruition on the WEST COAST!!\nBut there are Easterners that have the opinion that when one crosses \nthe Mississippi from E to W, one drops their brains in the river!!!\nHundreds of hamsat operators on the left coast, but one does not hear \nmuch from them in comparison to some of the drivel that comes from \nthe other side of the river!!!\n\nI was born in Minnesota, DIRECTLY NORTH of its source, so am unbiased!!\n\nMost of them never admit that Project Oscar ever existed...\n\nRob Turlington G8ATE did something about it this year, and got a \nspecial callsign for 5 days GB Zero Oscar One (gb0o1), and we all \nshould be grateful to him for his efforts..\n\nI'm going to do something this year about it for AMSAT_NA, and get a \nsimilar special event callsign W6XXX to commemorate it in 2008.\n\n>  I myself would love to teach\n>teenagers about amateur radio.\n\nMy door, and station is always open, and if there is the slightest \ninterest I give a demo....I given hamsat presentations to all of the \n18 clubs in San Diego at least twice throughout the years...I know, \nsome of them were just \"filling a slot\", but even suspecting that, I \nenjoyed doing it...\n\n>I hope you will all forgive my meandering first message to the list,\n>but I'd love to hear all your thoughts on the matter.\n\nNo, keep your thoughts coming, yours was as refreshing a message that \nI have heard among the dozens of others on the bb in a long time!!\n\n\n\n\n            73, Dave, WB6LLO\n                [email protected]\n\n                    Disagree: I learn....\n\n               Pulling for P3E... \n\n",
