Bob Hopkins, WB2UDC, joins Eric, 4Z1UG, in this QSO Today about the importance of ham radio Elmers, especially in the lives of kids, and how to pay it forward to future generations of hams. Bob is an active elmer with kids through the New Jersey Boy Scouts of America as well as creating opportunities for kids to speak to astronauts first aboard the Space Shuttle and now to the International Space Station.

Nice. Bob and Eric are on the right track in my opinion. First brush with amateur radio in Boy Scouts, novice at 12 years old. One year lic. I still had the bug after listening to all the code I could follow. Wasn't until later years I retested(KA7QNO) 5 words per min. Keep getting the word out. All but 2 of my mentors have passed, so we need ELMERS.
