During the Independence Day weekend, KU2US set up a special event with stations to contact in the 13 original colonies. Caroline said she'd like to try and make a contact, so I found Richie working from New Hampshire under special event call K2K. Caroline attempted to return with my call 5 or 6 times...and on the 6th try, he heard her and had a nice QSO with her. Thanks, Ritchie W1STT, for the 20m contact, and God Bless America!
Rig is a Kenwood TS-520, with a MFJ Versa Tuner, barefoot into a dipole cut for 40m with a 20m section.
Awesome video, she did really well.

She's great! She'll want her own callsign soon. That TS-520 will still be alive when she is well into adulthood. Best SSB radio ever made, but I'm biased. Great video.
