9-year-old gets 1.5 kW ham radio licence

The Carroll County Times reports kids can do anything they want if they put
their heart into it

The newspaper says:

On May 11, the Carroll County Amateur Radio Club [in Maryland] held amateur
radio license testing for attendees of their latest licensing class. The
testing was held at the Public Safety Training Center in Westminster. One
special participant was 9-year-old *Caleb Marquart* [now *KC3NKX*], who
attended the class with his aunt *Heather Palmer KC3NLA*.

To pass the class, club president *Peter Hiltz WV3S* said, “Caleb had to
learn electronics and amateur radio etiquette sufficient to pass a Federal
Communications Commission test. The test is 35 questions. Out of a pool of
300, you need to get 26 correct to pass. Caleb, with help from his mom
Rebecca, read the training guide, attended our class and took practice
tests.�

Hiltz said Caleb’s mom, *Rebecca Marquart KC3MJE*, successfully graduated
from a previous training class. Of those attending the May 11 class, 83%
passed the test, with some having gained enough knowledge to immediately
take the upgrade test and progress to the mid-level license.

“In honor of Caleb's achievement, the Carroll County Amateur Radio Club
presented Caleb with his first ham radio, a walkie-talkie capable of
connecting to the club's local voice system and letting him chat with
fellow hams throughout Carroll County and a bit beyond,� Hiltz said.
