[KB6NU] Dayton 2016: N1SPY at the CWOps booth
KB6NU's Ham Radio Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// Dayton 2016: N1SPY at the CWOps booth Posted: 22 May 2016 08:20 PM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/kb6nu...m_medium=email As usual, I had a blast at the Dayton Hamvention this year. I have lots of stories to tell, and rather than write one big long post, Im going to write a series of shorter stories. Heres one of themDan OnÂ*of the most memorable experiences of Dayton 2016 happened on Saturday morning, as I was manning the CWOps booth. About 11:30, Tommy, N1SPY,Â*and his father walk up. I guessed that he was about 10, 12 years old, and he said that he’d recently gotten his General Class license. After congratulating him on that achievement, he told me that he plans to learn Morse Code. So, I give him he spiel about the CWOps club, and we talk a little bit about about operating Morse Code. As we were discussing keys, and how I think that its important toÂ*have a key and practice sending as well as receiving, a woman came up the booth and asked meÂ*a question. I talked to her for a couple minutes, then turn back to the N1SPY, who I noticed was still standing there. The father, Ivan, No2CW, says, “My son just recognized your call. He used your study guides.” How cool is that? Then, he asks if I’ll sign his book for him. So, I sign his book, shake his hand, and tell him thatif he ever hears me on the air, to make sure to call me, especially since I collect QSL cards from stations whose callsignsÂ*spell words! I certainly will be listening for him. The post Dayton 2016: N1SPY at the CWOps booth appeared first on KB6NUs Ham Radio Blog. |
