[bars] Recruiting Hams in EMASS (Updated)

[Paul Graveline]

Section Manager Jon McCombie, N1ILZ, has just appointed me EMASS Section
Youth Coordinator. While my title only mentions youth, Jon and I have
decided to expand that to all phases of recruiting prospective Ham
potentially including from  businesses.

The project will not directly target the young adults themselves but focus
on convincing certain adult populations such as teachers, homeschoolers and
makers that Ham Radio is the first step to a long term and lucrative career
in telecommunications.

We are asking a small favor of you to help us get the campaign going.

Our first task is to develop a comprehensive listing of the skills that can
be learned  through Ham Radio. This is where you can help.

Most hams become very proficient in one or two specific areas (
constructing , contesting, digital communications etc.) and we are asking
you to pick your favorite area of Ham Radio and send along 5 skills which
can be acquired in those areas ( examples: soldering, emergency
communications, antenna design).

A comprehensive list of these skills will be developed and distributed to
whoever is interested.

Timely updates will be published as well as an occasional report on our
progress. If you would like to receive occasional updates, let me know.

Feel free to spread the word about our initial steps to non BARS members.

So please take a few minutes and send a message to paulK1YUB at gmail.com with
your list of skills. Please put SKILLS in the subject box.
