How to lure more young people into ham radio

Give them free 2m radios when they get their license!

Of course, that would be a bit expensive, although I suppose if the ARRL did this en masse it could find something inexpensive or get one of those cheap chinese HTs FCC certified...

Still, it's a thought! Your average 16 year-old who might be interested in amateur radio probably isn't going to have the $100 or so to get a decent HT, which is kind of a buzz-kill for the hobby.
