More on my recent #HamRadio rant. I got banned from a forum thread because I challenged what the #ARRL is doing to bring in the next diverse generation of licensees. I was told that the league has great resources available. The great resources? Example: There is an upcoming event in which old guys will be asking young Girl Scouts for their name, address, and phone number so that they can send NTS messages (with that information shared on-air by each handler in the path) to the girls parents as a demonstration of how interesting #HamRadio might be to young girls. First, this is creepy. Second, NTS messages? RLY?

@Megawatt Yeah, like vintage American cars most of amateur radio seems captured and gatewayed by unthinking old white guys. Also FCC licensees have full personal data exposed online. Not good.
