We (my 9 year old daughter and I) are starting our ham classes this January! We are going to bring some of her friends along.

She is excited about talking to her friends. The more I show her the more excited she gets.

I'm excited about experimenting with data transmission.

I'm also excited she can use that instead of a cell phone to talk to her friends.

It would also be the first "test" she takes since she is homeschooled, so it's good experience for her in a lower stakes environment. I actually don't think she has ever taken a multiple choice test come to think about it and this will be good for her mandatory state testing. All their testing/games we do are "figure out the right answer" so she is not used to people trying to trick her with some of the answer options.

Not quite sure what we are doing yet but we talked about getting both Technician and General licenses.
