Glenn Baxter, K1MAN, and John Palmer, WB8TUZ, of Dallas, Texas,
announced today the kick-off of their new IARN AMATEUR RADIO PEACE
CORPS KIDS PROJECT. This nationwide and even world wide project will
systematically introduce Amateur Radio to minority kids world wide
for educational, motivational, and discipline learning purposes with
the intent of "Helping kids to make good career choices" according to
Mr. Palmer, a Radio Amateur from Dallas, Texas and former Engineering
Technician with the Heath Company in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The
first IARN KIDS PROJECT international conference will be held in
Belgrade Lakes, Maine this Summer. Mr. Palmer will appear as Glenn
Baxter's special guest in a weekly series about the KIDS PROJECT over
the K1MAN amateur radio short wave bulletin service beginning with the
12 January 2003 program. There is also a new web page for the IARN
KIDS PROJECT. Go to www.K1MAN.com and click on IARN AMATEUR RADIO
PEACE CORPS KIDS PROJECT. Mr. Palmer can be reached for further

Mr. Baxter, K1MAN, is a former Industrial Engineer with the Collins
Radio Company (Automatic Process Division) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mr.
Baxter stated that "I can't imagine any Radio Amateur who would be any
happier than those who have been in the engineering cultures of the
Heath Company or the Collins Radio Company. Mr. Palmer brings much
of the fabulous Heath engineering culture into our IARN and AARA
organizations, and we are all thrilled to have him aboard. Mr.
Palmer's dad was a black high school principal in Missouri, and also
brings a culture of innovative teaching and the education of bright
children into IARN and AARA. The American Amateur Radio Association is a
major sponsor of the IARN AMATEUR RADIO PEACE CORPS KIDS PROJECT," said Mr.
Baxter. For more information go to www.K1MAN.com.

If the gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence
here in Britland is anything to go by, the program described below
will be a big mistake, for it will flood the bands with those who
are not technically motivated in themselves. Ham Radio is a technical
pursuit and kids simply do not have the mathematical background to
enable them to do even the simplest of resistances-in-parallel
calculations.

A bit of a non-sequitur there, OM.

There is no reason to "get kids involved"

Ham Radio is made up of those who are sufficiently
interested to get themselves involved, and to educate
themselves. Those who are led by the hand will never be
anything more than CB fodder.

In that case, perhaps you could take it upon yourself to get kids
involved.
