WORLDS YOUNGEST HAM is eight-year-old Elizabeth Deck, San Bruno, Cal., who has her novice license, call letters ENGMTQ.
Just to be picky; that’s KNGMTQ.

This is definitely not true. I know of a radio-ham that’s even younger. He was born in 1961 therefore when this issue came out he was -5 years young.

she was, of course, immediately stalked by ham radio pedo’s… what was the freguency for myspace back then? har!

To be even pickier, the call would have been KN6MTQ, the G in the original piece had to have been a typo as ham calls would have a number designating the district. 6 would be California. The N in the call represents “novice” and if the kid successfully upgraded, the call would have become K6MTQ
Just sayin’

The callsign is KN6MTQ. It is a ‘6′, not a ‘G’.

Not true. Guy Mitchell, of Buckingham, IA, received his ham radio license at the age of 5 yrs., 2 months in 1977. Check “Now You’re Talking!”

My local VE Team had these two 4-yr olds… incredible! They were home schooled and filled out the Form 605 by themselves!
