[kids] N7EAT Results

[Mark Trevisiol]

I read about the Kids Day contest in the January '98 QST.  It seemed like a
great way to introduce my kids (Sarah and Anna) to radio.  Normally, I run
contests with N7ATM.  He was unable to attend, so the girls and I decided
to make a day of it.  We invited the cousins (Cyndi, Mike, and Josh).  I
remembered a coworker and his twin daughters (Sasha and Sonya).

Well, in the beginning, I was the only one excited about the contest.  My
kids were excited about their cousins coming to play.  Sasha and Sonya had
decided it was probably going to be a boring event, and did not plan to
stay long.

Boy, were they wrong...  We all had a great time making QSOs and meeting
folks around the country.  I had to shut the radio off to get them to break
for lunch.  Every time we tried to walk away, someone would call us.

Participation must have been good.  There was rarely any quiet time.  We
only worked on 10M.  It was just like a real contest (i.e. crowded).  Well,
when it was over, the older three voiced interest in getting their license,
and wanted to know when they could do that again.

I am still excited!  It was a great experience sharing my shack and time
with the kids.  It was well worth the time and effort.  I will do this
again!
