Differences between German and US American Youth Communities – DO7KAY

In
the end an interesting discussion took place, which was started by Kay
DO7KAY, pointing out differences between German and US radio amateurs.
Kay received for a year ARRL’s QST Magazine. With this he had the chance
to dig deeper in the background of US radio amateurs.

After that,
one of the main topics was the difficulty of obtaining an amateur radio
license. This seems to be a problem in several countries. Depending on
fees, minimum age, location of examination, level of exam questions and
learning material. The discussion on this topic will continue in the
near future. When it is hard to obtain a license, we will never get many
more young radio amateurs.
