[kids] Kid's Day at N7SJ

[Steve Jones]

Erin's second effort at this contest was as much fun as the first - this
is a wonderful chance for kids to get in some radio time with each
other, perhaps less intimidating than working us OM's.

At which time we adjourned to the pool.

Propagation was none too good - we heard only one side of a lot of
QSO's.

We overheard one OM exchanging info who said he would have liked to say
that his favorite color is plaid, but really it's orange.

Erin's taking interest in this hobby, learning enough Morse code to send
her name, ours, and the cats' names.  This event helped stimulate that
interest.

QSL cards printed in pink are on their way to all contacts.

Many thanks to the crew at K7RAT for sponsoring this event!
