[kids] Kid's Day Log, Comments, Jimmy and Dmitriy, WA3FET

[James K. Breakall]

Hello All,

This was a wonderful event and Jimmy, 7, and his friend, Dmitriy,
13, (Dmitriy is our neighbor and is originally from Russia), had
a fantastic time.  Jimmy, our son, is quite enthusiastic with
ham radio and has been since the age of 4.  I hope he can get
his license this coming year with Mommy too.

He has been a world traveler to many contest stations as well, some
of which are ON4UN, twice, NP4A, many times, K3LR, and of course the
contest station that we have built up here in State College using the
call K3CR (known to Jimmy as the "site"), and to our other station in
Puerto Rico where we use Angel's call, WP3R, (known to Jimmy as "Breakall
Mountain").  He has seen it all and should have some contest spirit in
his blood!!!

Jimmy and Dmitry used the station at home for this event which was
a Yaesu FT1000MP, a solid state commercial amp, and a Hy-Gain Telex
LP1009 12 el log periodic up 40 feet.  They both had a ball and did 99% of
all talking from here.

Jimmy's exchange said he was in State College, Penn State, PA and his
color was two, Black and Gold.  Dmitriy said he was in Port Matilda,
Stormstown, PA.  All was correct in their own way.

We look forward to being on in the next one in June.

PS: The most amazing contact was with KL7AM, Bob, in Fairbanks, AK,
who was 90 years young and was first licensed in 1916 at the age of
8.  He was born in 1908.  He talked to Jimmy and Dmitry for a long
time and this is incredible when you think of the age differences!!!
