Comments:
My XYL had a European trip this week so I stayed at home with the boys, and of
course we fit in some radio between chores and athletic events. My 14-year
old son Aidan, K3ADN came down to the shack for a while, clicking spots and
hitting the buttons on the DVK. He liked the 'game' aspect of CQWW, seeing
our score go up when we got a RED mult (country) or GREEN mult (zone/country).
But he was a little overwhelmed by the QRM and had trouble copying the foreign
accents and getting the timing right on transmitting, listening, whether the
other station needed a repeat, etc. I realized maybe a slow domestic contest
would have been better training, but CQWW was definitely fun. Also did one
shift at NN3W's Multi-Single on Saturday AM with some nice runs on 10-meters.
I am growing fond of CQWW Phone - very enjoyable weekend overall. 73 and thanks
for the QSO's
Ken KE3X and Aidan K3ADN
