I'm in!

Thanks all. I will let you know the whens and wheres as soon as I can.

Hi Tom,

A job well done by your daughter Helen! I hope she will follow your footsteps into the ham radio hobby. Kids have a lot of fun on the radio at special event and contest stations. When our club does Field Day, there is always one (and sometimes two) station(s) being operated by kids. They are very competitive and do a fantastic job in racking up the points! The running joke is: to put a youngster in front of the microphone is equivalent to a 6 dB increase in transmit power -- because the operator on the other end will almost always select their young voices from the pileups.

I seldom add anyone to an ignore list, but congrats for that old man, you just earned a place on a very exclusive list.

Jesus Christ you deal with children with that potty mouth?
Amazing
You have 9 million lookups on QRZ, HONESTLY, what a role model
The kid is obviously intelligent, God knows where she got it from if you are related to her.

I am impressed by the depth of your vocabulary.
Am I supposed to care that you ignore me?
To be thought an ass by an ass is a compliment
Please I cannot do to myself what apparently you seem to have some knowledge of, to know that it is possible

Jesus has a potty mouth? Damn, who knew?

My daughter operating a relatively small station in Connecticut, managed the pileup for about 45 minutes with no one helping her. The girl in the video at the head of this thread is clearly capable to do the same thing if ALLOWED to do so

Ummm...Burt...this thread isn't about you.

Burt who?

What? No video Burt? I have a picture of Stevie "Operating" but that doesn't prove he did. Your gonna have to trot out the video before I believe this is your kid and that she was operating.

There is nothing wrong with coaching an inexperienced operator until they are comfortable with the process regardless of age. When your daughter turned 16 did you hand her the car keys and tell her, "Here, go figure out how on your own."
