Well, my 7 yr. old lass made five QSO's today during Kid's Day, two of
them were CW contacts. So QSL cards go out today for the "young'un"
who managed to practice enough over the past few weeks to pound out my
call, her name, favorite color, age, QTH and wrap it up with a
not-too-shabby 73. (I helped w/her copy tho.)

I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day gift.

Wonder why we aren't supprised that top-posting johnnyboy would find a
way to attempt to discredit a ham with his 7 year old enjoying radio.
Johnnyboy, with the way you seem to hate ham radio and those who
participate, why don't you just turn in your license and go back to the
'freeband'?
