Hi again, Not a bad idea. We were very successful in getting our four children interesting in the outdoors. The oldest daughter and her husband are even into backpacking in the back country (Algonquin park), something we never got into. The other three are very good hikers, too.
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I am not sure if I understand the joy of activating peaks on ham radio. How do other hikers react to this? I know I am extremely annoyed by people gabbing on their cell phones on the trail. Is ham radio that much different?
