   One of the great things about doing ham radio in a park like this is the endless stream of kids that come up to ask you what you are doing.

   "ARE YOU MAKING A TIKTOK?"

   "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO INTERNET"

   "HOW IS THIS TALKING TO JAPAN"

   Invariably the parents are as interested, but it's always the kids that are uninhibited enough to ask.

     My son and I made a quick run to the Puget Sound seaside to take advantage of the 20 meter band this morning. Sitting here in Seattle we made a contact in the Czech Republic using less power than you'd use to light a lightbulb. #hamradio #amateurradio #ft8
