Thanks to all who worked AA5BT and Junior Ops on Sunday.  As always,
it was fun.  I did it with four 11-13 yo girls this time (all on loan
from friends).  After working 15-20 stations, they got giggly and
started making up names, changing their favorite colors etc.  When
they all told people their name was Ashley, it was time to stop...
At that age, there are just so many times you can repeat the same
info without needing some variety.  I did get them to ask other ops
about hobbies, pets etc, but even that didn't last.

Kids' Day is a great example of why we need phonetics - ack.

they said their names were).
