A friend of mine who's in his mid-20s works at an infosec firm where he and quite a few of his colleagues have recently obtained ham licences.

They went along and tried to engage the local club. They gave up and now refuse to deal with them. He suggested to me that either someone needs to start a digital-only club, or, as recently happened with our overarching national body, someone needs to intervene and take over the club to keep it relevant.

The old elmers have every right to run their club the way they want and use the bands too. Just start up a new club. Pretty easy these days.

HN Hams anyone? :-)

I’m too lazy to run it but happy to hop on.

I think it’s a case of finding the right club. I’m licensed in Canada along with my dad and it took us a while to find a good club where we live (Toronto). A good club, IMO, has a mix between old and new technologies and that’s been in line with my experience in the hobby so far

"a good club where we live" implies the existence of more than one club...
