Steve K5ATA is an inspiration to us for getting youth into ham radio. He is a teacher for STEM and CS, a bee whisperer, and a Parks on the Air enthusiast (or perhaps just a POTA logger for his daughter who is an active ham). He had a scary fire incident at home and is now a Captain of a local volunteer firefighter department. Join us as we talk about his projects with Goodgame Ham Radio and Outdoors.
