Text on the talk from the RSGB website:
Elmering has always been a core part of the amateur radio community, and as with the rest
of the hobby it both has and will change in the future. In this talk, Kjetil will explore what
elmering is and how it may evolve, as well as what it has to say for recruitment to the
community. Modern elmering is much more than ‘just’ creating a YouTube video on a topic;
it’s about re-thinking how we welcome, inspire and support both ‘traditional’ amateurs and
new generations. The ones who join us now will have grown up with 3D-printers, YouTube,
AI-chatbots and worldwide communication at their fingertips. At the same time, there is still a
need for hands-on help and social gatherings that will not be easily replaced online.
Kjetil, LB4FH, was licensed in 2016 at the age of 31 and currently serves as the country
manager for both Parks on the Air (POTA) and Worldwide Bunkers on the Air
(WWBOTA) in Norway. His journey into radio began through Scouts, where he was involved
in Jamboree On The Air and Internet (JOTA-JOTI) since around 2000.
Online you’ll find Kjetil both with his own YouTube channel focusing on portable operations
in Norway, and as a host and founding member of The European Ham Radio Show.
Professionally, Kjetil works as a senior IT consultant and security champion, where he
focuses on mentoring and educating colleagues and customers.
