[kids] Boring Kids

[Tree N6TR]

Well, we had Theresa make a few QSOs near the start, then I had to drop
K2MM off at the airport.  Then Theresa made some more QSOs, then Joesph
came over and they got to share the radio.  Then Kendra, Wesley, Grace
and John came over.  Then Rebecca came upstairs!!!  Some people got a 
lot of QSOs out of us.  

Sounds like activity was good.  Joesph ran off about 28 QSOs as the rate
picked up when everyone else had to leave.  This guy might be a contest
op someday if we can teach him to stop fingering the microphone while he
is talking!

One of our best laughs is when someone said "What is your name Grace?"
Grace wasn't sure how to answer it.  Turns out they really wanted her
age.

We also heard the AA3B girls having a giggle attack!

I think this is what we gave out.  Joesph used K7RAT and everyone else
used N6TR:

Theresa 6 Oregon Pink
Rebecca 5 Oregon Sparkling Red (which I am wearing)
Wesley  8 Oregon Black
Joesph  8 Oregon Blue
John    ? Oregon Blue?  I think John was 8.
Grace   9 Oregon Green
Kendra  3 Oregon Pink
Sarah   2 Oregon Unknown (she didn't make any QSOs - in training).

Tee shirts - I still have some tee shirts if people want to give them
to the kids.  $15 and a few bux for postage please.  We have S, M and L.
The S seems to work for kids around 4.  The M is for the 6 year olds
and the Ls seem to work for the bigger kids.  I am out of adult sizes,
but will try to get some more made for Dayton.  State favorite color:
Light Blue, Dark Green or Gray.  Some size/colors are sold out, so try
to put more than one choice if possible.  The money goes towards doing
the certificates (printing and postage).  Make sure we know who your kids
were (proper spelling of their names) and your address and you will get
a certificate.
