Comment:

Kid's Day is a fantastic idea!  Jenna has hung out in the
ham shack (her mother refers to it as the "guest room") for
awhile now, but she was so very excited to take the microphone
for herself.  No mike fright, and a real sense of pride and
accomplishment after each QSO.  I'm concerned that every
weekend may turn into Kid's Day now - I may not be able to
keep her QRT until June!

Suggestion - I would prefer it if the Kid's Day event used
an allocation on 40m phone, rather than on 10m.

The 20m segment was full, with heavy QRM that made copy 
difficult for an experienced op, and even more so for an 
eager child. 40m during the day is less populated, at least
at my QTH.
