[ILQSO] Thanks from N9GXW and Sons

Mike and family,  
My heartiest congratulations on your performance last Sunday in the
Illinois QSO Party. 
It makes an old timer feel good to hear of the way you are getting the
family involved.  Mom is contributing, too, just by putting up with three
crazy hams.   It is such efforts that will keep amateur radio alive for
years to come.  

Your note touched me because 38 years ago I got my 10 year-old nephew
going.  He is KN9T , my partner again this year at the 4-corner spot,
WBGO/BOON/OGLE/DEKA. 

Bud Frohardt,  W9DY

 Thanks all from N9GXW. The ILQSO party is closed now and it was fun. 
 As some of you who worked us know we operated from a 3 county corner. My
2 
 sons, 11 and 14 (the 14 year old is KB9VEI, and I am trying to get the
11 
 year old over to the dark side), operated under my call for quite some
time. 
 I would like to thank all who worked with them to get their feet wet and

 coach them through. They had a great time, they told their mother it was
more 
 fun than field day by far! Their Mother thinks we are all nuts. As
special 
 thanks to my shack mates N9UPG and K0CA.
 73,
  Mike   N9GXW
