[Elecraft] Looking for Grandkid radio

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I got interested in radio at age 10 when my father brought me a regenerative
receiver kit with three type 76 tubes (1948). About that time he brought me
a copy of the 1941 ARRL Handbook which I read cover to cover. But I was
frustrated learning CW on my own until a buddy next door also got interested
and we started chatting between our houses using some homebuilt morse
buzzers (with a wire strung between the houses). 

So I suggest something would engage him with a buddy. Today that can be done
via the internet (back then "hi tech" was a radio in the living room).
Perhaps something like this:

Found out last night that one of grandsons (6 1/2 yr) has developed an
interest in Morse code and radios.  Who know how long it will last 8-)

BUT in the interest of feed the fire, I'm looking for something that I can
help him listen on at his house ...   

Anybody got anything collecting dust that needs a new home ??
