Mobile Radio
My son came to me yesterday very excited because they learned how to build a two way radio in his science class. I have not seen him this excited about school in a very very long time. He could not stop talking about this project and went online to look up mobile radio systems on all the search engines and video sites.
Our entire dinner conversation revolved around this subject and the conversation went on well into his bedtime. I guess science is the subject that got him excited and thinking about all the other “cool” things that he could build. The only way I was able to convince him to go to sleep was to promise him that we would build a two way radio together this weekend. So tomorrow after work I need to go to an electronics store so I can get the parts needed to build out our father and son project. The best part of it is that he wants to do this because he likes it and not because it is a class assignment.
I cant believe the amount of information he was able to download on data radio communication systems. The materials he found on the net were very interesting and thurough and he organized them in a very methodical manner so that it would be easy for us to review and follow when we start building our own. This has got to be one of those proud father moments for me. My little boy is growing up and I love watching it and more importantly being a part of it.
