Well, the kids had a great time this go-around.  I had Alyssa, 8 and Chase, 4
do a multi-op from our QTH.  I thought that they did a great job and had fun
too.

Alyssa started the contest with  a 30 minute gab-fest.  She hooked up with Sara
at K5RT's.  They hit it off and talked for a long time.  She is getting this
radio stuff down pretty good.  She was proud to tell a few that she has been
"Kid Contesting" since she was 5 :)

Chase did pretty well for 4.  I had to prompt him for all but when the exchange
was done, he always ended with a big OVER.....kinda funny from my side at
least.  He's a pretty mic shy little guy but he saw his sister, he couldn't
resist.  The only problem with Chase is when he doesn't have the mic in had, he
usually is flipping a switch or turning a knob....the usual 4 yr. old stuff. 
He also hit the power switch on the 1000 when his sister was in
QSO....ooops....his usual reply...."it was an accident".

We made about 40 QSO's total.  

I hope that all had fun and thanks for the time and effort of all that got some
younger ones on the radio.
