I second that. I was among the "rare 6" calls in the same area. It was a complete blast to watch the kids experience the fun of a fox hunt. During the day I met the father of the boy who spent most of his day in the pig suit -- both of them will remember their day for years to come. -- Andy Oppel, N6AJO At 10:41 AM 8/20/2007, dick@pobox.com wrote:

I do not normally chime in on an officers' report, but Joel's report of the youth activities is right on target. As luck would have it, I was sitting in the Development booth when the hoard of very enthusiastic young rabbit hunters arrived. It was fun to watch Joel getting a through shake-down by hunters.
I was also a "rare 9 callsign" in the youth callsign scavenger hunt. (I only saw five "9-land" callsigns the whole weekend.) I enjoyed answering their questions and helping the kids to correctly write down my callsign and State.
My hat's off to all the ARRL staff members and member volunteers who worked long hours to make the 2007 ARRL National Convention a great success.
