First use of NewTechHams in Zero Retries

Editorial about ARRL

Discovered this community of new Amateur Radio Operators in writing Zero Retries

Generally younger and involved in tech such as IT, software development, hackers makers, EE students. Example - DEF Con and GRCon attendees.

Not recognized by mainstream Amateur Radio because

They don’t “advance” to General

They don’t participate in conventional Amateur Radio - DX, HF, voice chatting

They don’t attend / join Amateur Radio clubs

They don’t join big orgs like ARRL (no value proposition for them)
