[kids] kids day KB9PVN and KB9JIZ

[jim funk]

Well, the Liberty Radio Explorers operation fell through due to a massive 
snowstorm.  We were scheduled to operate from the local elementary school 
(by "local", I mean 11 miles from here....); the principal was planning to 
drive 15 miles to open the building for us.  With roads fast being closed, 
it didn't make sense to put kids and their families at risk for the sake of 
the event.  Instead, my youngest daughter, Charlyn KB9JIZ was snowed in with 
two of her cousins, Dan and Laura; so they put her call on the air for about 
an hour.  It was the cousins' first exposure to the hobby...hard to tell how 
much of an impression it made.  After the first two contacts, Laura (8), 
wanted to do the CQing.  

I'm compiling a list of the "under 21's" logged by reporting stations and 
will post it in a couple of days so all of you can make 
additions/corrections.  So far, I'm THRILLED at the amount of activity 
reported!!
