[kids] Kids Day, 2002 -- N9JF

[jim funk]

For some reason I can't get my *own* kids on the air, but I borrowed a
couple:

Eva, age 17, exchange student living with us, home near Helsinki, Finland,
first time on the air, color: blue

Rachel, age 15, neighbor up the road, second Kids' Day, color: purple

Operation was split between 10 and 20 meters, with one 15 meter contact.
Conditions were quite good on all bands; great short skip on 20, prop to all
points on 10.

Rachel held her own, but Eva took to the radio like a duck to water.  I
think there will be a new OH YL on the air when she goes home.

Thanks for all the encouraging remarks and the calls.
73, Jim N9JF
