The newcomers seem to be of the same mode also. The ones that are interested
in
the technical stuff probably would have left within one or two meetings.

Vipul:

"Would have?" Did they or didn't they? It's gotta be one or the other!

I am not a demographer. I don't track newcomers like that. On that statement,
I'm just theorizing. That's why I used the word "probably".

Probably same would be true about the social aspect of newcomers. Thats why
the demographics seem to stay as they are when new people join.

Its 95%+ males, mostly older males. The idea of putting up antennas and
contesting for hours is boring. Not surprisingly, there are few females in the
hobby.

Most of the young people are of the anti-social nerdy type that others would
not like to be with. Therefore, other young people don't join.

The other alternative is to start my own club. I tried it, but that was not
too successful.

Not "too" successful?

Two other people showed up. One person was a typical Ham type and believed that
I could get more members by appealing to current Hams. If I could find current
Hams with those interests, I would not have to start this type of club.

The other person, although not an EE, was sincerely interested in technical
projects.

Due to certain factors such as the lack of a meeting place, getting enough
members, and lack of funds, and other factors, the club could not get started.
