Hi Mark, Thank you for your comments on my Kids Day entry. I'm sorry you had
problems with some bad operators, but the "negative contacts" I was
referring to were due to deficiencies in my station and the pileups being
generated by some of the stronger ops. Seeing how much fun was being created
by me and my ham radio, maybe "Mom" will be more inclined to let me put up
that tri-band yagi for the next Kids Day.

Hi Mark, Thank you for your comments on my Kids Day entry. I'm sorry you
