That was a good read. It was interesting on how you were able to weave different aspects of our hobby into the story. Maybe this could be an end of year tradition to sum up the year in an inspirational story. Wishing you and your family a happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Sandip - I did a somewhat related "visioning" story in Zero Retries 0079 - https://www.zeroretries.org/p/zero-retries-0079 in which I imagined some future developments and organizations in Amateur Radio. This story was a leap for me as I've never written fiction before, and thus the dialogs were a bit stilted, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Other than the 10 or so immediate unsubscribes (make of that what you will), it seemed to have been well-received, so likely Jada and Jennifer will appear in a future story in Zero Retries.
Steve, I thought your fictional account of Jennifer mentoring Jada was wonderful. You included many ham radio activities, your characters were both female, and your data emphasis all reflected values you espouse and share in Zero Retries. I enjoyed reading it and hope to hear more from Jennifer and Jada in the future. —Paul, N4FTD
Paul - Thanks for the feedback. Overall the response to the Jada and Jennifer story has been positive, so it's more likely than not that there will be a future story(ies) about them in Zero Retries.

"Elmering" - are we using glue as part of some antenna fabrication? :-)
Louis - Yeah :-) "Elmering" is pervasive terminology in Amateur Radio at the moment.
