Kid's Day

[rot]

Ok all you OF's.
Talk to 'em.
They tickle the hell out of me.
I think its name, age, qth and favorite color.
It's ok to extend the qso if you get a talker.
I always report Magenta...but have deviated a bit.
If you get a talker at a big station, prepare for a pile.

Have fun,

I tried to drum up some interest with this a couple years ago. No one up here seemed interested in it. They were too busy trying to set up the club station to play with on FD.

I got my daughter on the air for awhile till the band shut down for the day.

Used to get my son out here, but you know he's to big for the kid stuff routine these days.
One of the neatest qso's he had, I thought, was with a blind guy.
Have to look back in the log.
The guy kept reporting Corduroy as a color.
After about 3 tries, my son got it and said to him
"That isn't a color".
The guy said "Well I can't see and I have to feel things."
Shut my kid right up...I thought it was kind of cool.
We just looked at each other and my son said "OK Thanks".
Corduroy is in the log somewhere.

rot: I talk to the kids all the time, these old farts that won't i do not understand, every year there have that school round up they call it on twenty, heck i think i racked up like twenty schools last year, the best is when you talk to a kid in arizona, and you tell him its 30 below zero up here in the sticks, they just about crap, they have no idea what that cold even feels like, we have a boyscout deal here every year too, you will get one or two kids that will stay with it, we have a 15 year old farm kid up here we are elmering along, his dad passed away, so he's living with mom and grandpa, good kid, smart too, he got his his general in january,
