How much youth activity is there in your area? (hams under 18)

I am about the only ham I know of in my area (should I say state :arf2: ) under 18

There are 2 other kids I know of my age (one older) they are both techs though and I don\'t even hear them in the repeaters that much.

What about you?

Lots of kids, not much activity.

Youngest I know of is 8 or 9.

We have a 17 year old girl and an 18 year old boy on our local repeater.  A couple counties over there is a 7 year old girl and her 8 year old cousin who get on 2 meter simplex and talk.  All are Techs.

that\'s good. Now all there is to do is hope that they get hooked on HF to get their generals.
