Just looked at it. He is clearly a great choice for our League to partner with.

Subject: [arrl-odv:33781] YouTube content creator
Over a year ago I began a dialog which has grown into the beginnings of a collaboration with a very well known content creator on YouTube, Lon Seidman.
I spoke of Lon during my CEO interviews in Denver.
Not only is Lon a “techno-geek”, he has also made appearances on NBC, and was also the campaign manager for CT Congressman Joe Courtney in 2006 and 2008. Lon only has one job: his YouTube channel and content creation.
He recently began exploring amateur radio for himself! He started with the RTL-SDR like the one connected to my RPi400 in my office.
He was bit. He now has his tech license and just released a video about the beginnings of his amateur radio journey. The video is outstanding!
He has only been licensed for 3 weeks and it is amazing what he has accomplished so far. Take a look and see if you agree.
We are exploring partnership videos with him. He will be coming to HQ soon to shoot some content for a video about ARRL. We will also be discussing opportunities and costs for sponsoring content on his channel, Lon.tv. With some 320,000+ subscribers, we anticipate he will be a great draw for the techno-geek audience (like me) who loves his channel and attract them into amateur radio.
