Thank you so much. She really enjoyed it! Today was her first hamfest and actually met Kerri KB3WAV that Katie hunted TWICE in this video. It made her day! She also did a POTA activation on our way home from Ham Fest! Tech license studying is in her near future. Thanks!

@@n3vanradio Great job Dad! That is a good start to a hobby for Katie to learn and really see if she likes it. Good introduction.

Hey Matt, dropped by your channel and it looks good. I didn't have the same luck with my own daughter. She's 11 now and just rolls her eyes at everything. HiHi. 73

Great to meet you at Bloomsburg Hamfest this past Saturday. Yeah I was pleasantly surprised when she showed interest in ham radio. Now just have to work on getting that license! Sorry to hear your daughter isn't as enthused. I think it is in part due to kids having the internet (KZbin, TikTok, Facebook, Texting, etc.) But if the grid goes down and comms are out I bet she will be eager to learn then... like so many others. Thanks again & 73!

Matthew, it was nice meeting you and you and Miss Katie at the Breezeshooters Hamfest today. Hopefully, by the middle of the week, I'll have the brand spanking new antenna and your well crafted balun strung up for some contacts. I hope to work you and Miss Kate in the near future. 73 John KB3SVJ

Thank you very much for stopping buy our table at BreezeShooters hamfest. It was great to meet and speak with you. Let me know if you have any questions about the antenna! Katie will definitely be on the air more and will be working for her technician class soon. We did hit Park K-1416 on the way home and activated in the limited time we had. Thank you again and 73 de N3VAN

Matthew, I asked you the following but I did not write which rptr you monitor near your QTH. So if you note the calls , I'll give you a shout when trucking through the area. 73
