PROGRAMS.  HAM RADIO RELATES TO MATH, SCIENCE, PHYSICS, ELECTRONICS,
GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, SOCIAL STUDIES, SPACE SCIENCE, SATELLITE
COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.  MANY PAGES COULD BE WRITTEN ABOUT HOW BENEFICIAL HAM
RADIO CAN BE TO A SCHOOL.  ITS IMPORTANT THAT YOU GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF
THIS.  IN A SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS, FOR EXAMPLE, A TEACHER MAY WANT TO HAVE
STUDENTS MONITOR SHORTWAVE BROADCASTS FROM BRAZIL AND PREPARE A REPORT
ABOUT THE NEWS OF THE DAY IN THAT COUNTRY.  FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENTS CAN
LEARN MORE QUICKLY BY MONITORING THE BANDS, TOO.  ARE THERE ANY VETERANS IN
YOUR HAM CLUB?  WHEN THE STUDENTS ARE STUDYING ABOUT THE KOREAN CONFLICT, A
KOREAN VET COULD BE INTERVIEWED VIA HAM RADIO.  THE STUDENTS COULD ASK
QUESTIONS AND SEVERAL CLASSES ALL OVER TOWN COULD PARTICIPATE IN THE
ACTIVITY AS LONG AS THERE IS A RADIO IN EACH CLASSROOM.  THE POSSIBILITIES
ARE NUMEROUS HERE.  WHEN ADDRESSING STUDENTS YOU MUST STRESS THE FUN AND
ADVENTURE ASPECT OF HAM RADIO.  DONT WORRY THAT HAM RADIO MAY HAVE
COMPETITION FROM THE INTERNET.  THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.  SHOW THE
STUDENTS HOW THEY CAN BUILD THEIR OWN STATION AND TALK ALL OVER THE WORLD
