Six-year old Ham

In August Priscilla Harder took and passed her Amateur Radio exam and
earned the call sign KD0PLJ.

Six-year old Priscilla Harder KD0PLJ of Newton, Kansas earned her
Technician class license during an examination session held at the
Kansas State Convention.

She is part of an Amateur Radio family with both her parents licensed
hams, her dad Kent is N0XOS and her mother Dana KB0RAT. She has a
younger sister Phebe, as yet unlicensed, who hopefully will get her
call sign in a couple of years.

The USA Technician class license is equivalent to the United Kingdom
Foundation but the big difference is the power levels.
In the UK Foundation holders are limited to a maximum of 10 watts
output, in the USA Technicians can run 1.5 kilowatts on amateur bands
above 30 MHz and 200 watts output on segments of 3.5, 7, 21 and 28
MHz.
