The ARRL Kids Day event is coming up on Saturday, January 5th from 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm.  Fred, AB1OC and Anita, AB1QB will have their station open for any youth – regardless of license class or license for that matter –  that would like to participate.

There is a very simple exchange of name, age, location, and favorite color. It’s a relaxed atmosphere and easy way to get on the air if you have your license and haven’t had much of an opportunity.  Even if you don’t have a license you can get on the air with the club call sign and one of our licensed youths as the control operator.  So, bring your friends!

This is a very special event to me as it is one of the first times my daughter, Abby, AB1BY made an HF contact. After this event, she was absolutely hooked on amateur radio! We’re hoping this happens to all the youth that participate!  Abby will be present to help make contacts. We would like to invite any youth, with or without a license, to come and check out what amateur radio has to offer.

Please respond to Jamey, AC1DC at [email protected] if you would like to participate or if you have any questions.
