The kids had a great time. For several kids, this week was the first time that they were on the radio. For others, the experience gained in the October 2006 SCR showed. Several kids are close to taking their Technician exam. Thanks to the sponsors and to the hams who gave us a QSO. QSL via address in QRZ.COM. K4DMS does not use eQSLs nor LOTW.
