I sent the first survey two years ago. This is the update that I long promised. I hope that this survey will have a few more responses. The purpose of this survey is to see where the youth in amateur radio are going, and coming from. Hopefully this will give us an insight to where the future of ham radio is going.
1. What made you interested in Ham Radio?
2. Why do kids want to be hams?
3. Are you more interested in building ham equipment or using them
4. Are there ham clubs for young hams in your area?
5. What would young hams like to see more of in amateur radio?
6. As a young ham, do you think that you are well represented in national or
local ham organizations?
7. What do you talk about with the adults on the air?
8. Do you feel that adults are ignoring you?
9. Is the testing requirements easier or harder for you? What do you want to
see more of in these tests?
10. Do you think is ham radio helping you in your everyday life?
