[James Lea - WX4TV]

That is in the works, John.  I am allowing her to learn and make her own decisions about things.  Simply giving it all to her upfront doesn’t encourage learning.  Nor does belittling a little girl, as was done in a previous message.

Thanks for the advice.

I am so sorry that for the sake of AMSAT and Ham Radio in general that a 9 year old wasn’t able to write down the callsign while holding two radios and an antenna.  Since she is so inept, perhaps she should quit the hobby altogether.  I look forward to meeting you face to face, so you can belittle my daughter to her face.
