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
