CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. -- They say the average ham radio operator is a 59-year-old man. A quick inventory of the Cumberland Valley Amateur Radio Club and that assessment appears spot on. But look again. In the corner, with their feet barely reaching the floor, are two young girls who recently have defied the stereotype by becoming two of the youngest licensed "hams" in the state of Pennsylvania. On international air space, they are KB3SSN and KB3SSM. In person, they are 7-year-old Veronica Latham and 8-year-old Victoria Latham of Shippensburg, Pa. The girls officially have been on the air for a few weeks, but their parents, both licensed operators, have made radio a part of the girls' lives since birth. Their father, Shannon Latham, or W3SML, took up the hobby of talking on the radio when he was 13.Things you can do from here:
