Being a QRP station was a big disadvantage here --- it was very difficult to
be heard over the QRO stations, but it was fun to have Katarina participate.
She is currently studying for her own license.  Also fun was being the 
first HF contact for KF6RSU!

Look forward to putting some power into next Kid's Day.  Hope everyone else
had fun.
