[hpsdr] An SDR Non-profit educational endeavor.

[K4LCD]

Great idea Tim to get the Boy Scouts and the Cub Scouts interested via 
presentations from Hams.

What I am suggesting is to institutionalize this project on a non-profit 
i.e IRS Chapter 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations so that it can 
receive funding from corporations, individuals and foundations to 
prepare educational materials, such as videos, power points, handouts, 
etc.  in order to assist hams, radio clubs and educators during their 
presentations.

Thank you for replying!

Regards and 73
