Seth Jones is… a young ham from Maine with an old soul for radio. At just 14, he’s earned his Extra license, snagged the vanity callsign NU1D, and has already gotten a taste of everything ham radio has to offer—from contesting to POTA, from sleepovers with Yagis to field day with an Elecraft K3 and a 30-foot trailer tower.
Seth’s not here to be a trend; he’s here to operate. While grownups wring their hands about whether “kids these days” are interested in ham radio, Seth quietly builds DX contacts from his hundred-watt shack, learns Morse, and imagines a future where ham radio leads to career paths in engineering or even the FCC.
His journey started with curiosity and mentorship—and maybe a few YouTube videos—but it’s been powered by a deep fascination with reaching across borders and bands. If you think ham radio’s dying, you’re listening on the wrong frequency.
