Today was the USS KIDD, unfortunately,we didnt make it down to the ship, but we did get some experience of talking on the radio. We all meet in the lab & wrote scripts of what to say, and how to talk on the air. After we wrote our scripts, we took a trip down to the HAM SHACK and took turns talking on air...We all spoke with Ava, she seemed really nice & was well prepared for our hesitations...( i really got nervous when it was my turn ). It was true what everyone was saying about us freezing up and getting nervous when it actually came down to a radio being in our hands. Talking on the radio seems kinda cool, but the technique we learned today of typing seemed cooler. We also learned that you could transmitt through typing, by hooking a radio up to the computer & transmitt digitally.
