When you figure out how to interest a 10 yr. old boy in ham radio, let us
know. When my son turned 15 and started asking to take his driver's permit
test, I simply informed him of another test he had to pass first. Back then
you had to copy 5 wpm to get your Tech. He was reluctant at first but
realized it was his only option. He studied hard and got his Tech. ticket
then his permit. He went on to get his driver's license and soon wrecked my
car. He went to college 600 miles from here so I packed a 2m HT, TNC and the
8086 PC for him and we kept in touch using packet radio. As a result of all
this technology he became the computer guru at college and ended up with a
degree in computer science and is doing quite well in the business world
now. No...He never did become a cw hound like his OM but at least ham radio
played a major role in his career and that was my real goal. 73
