"I've always had trouble with integrating "youngsters"
in what is a primarily _adult_ skill/technique recreational
activity."

The integration of youngsters into adult activities is one of the beauties
of ham radio. This is one of the few opportunities that they have to learn
by direct participation on an equal footing with adults. This opportunity
has been increasingly rare in modern times. The young normally tend to be
isolated to non-adult activities and the adults are there simply as
supervisors, trainers, or "taxis."

It is truly a wonderful thing to see the youngsters, oldsters, and those
in-between working together on projects.
