Try around your area to talk with some of the MARS members.
MARS needs new and "young" blood instead of us old guys still
hanging in there. As you know all 3 services have MARS.
Requirements are
1. A ham license (any class)
2. A desire to serve in cases of emergency and also just to be
a part of MARS (which originally started in about 1929)
as an adjunct volunteer system to the Army Comms system
3. A feeling just a tad better than just doing DX contests
on all your weekends.

My point is Packet does not have the varity like the internet and when a
person comes up with a new idea for packet or a new program idea for
packet it is seemed to be frowned upon by other operators. So packet
will remain third to the Internet, and Wireless Internet systems. Varity
does not have to be a new idea or program but a BBS with it's own stuff
in it and not some Fowarded stuff from other places have BBS systems for
just for sale stuff and another BBS for Digital communication idea or
one with General Amateur radio stuff but leave all the for sale stuff in
the for sale BBS. Give the BBS a varity and it's own indivualism. Stuff
on BBS doen't have to be just "For Sale" and jokes On Amateur radio you
can talk about anything not just radio. But again You have Amateurs who
don't want change wiether it packet or anything in the Amateur radio
service. So Packet will be like ancient modes of communication it will
die out because those people will not execpt changing the system
