ARRL Kids Day

https://www.arrl.org/kids-day

Twice a year, ARRL offers an event designed to promote Amateur Radio to our youth. Share the excitement with your kids or grandkids, a Scout troop, a church or the general public!

Kids Day is designed to give on-the-air experience to young people and hopefully foster interest in getting a license of their own. It is also intended to give older hams a chance to share their station and love for Amateur Radio with their children.

Dates and Times-

* Generally the first Saturday in January, and the third Saturday in June, see the ARRL Contest Calendar for current Kids Day event dates at http://www.arrl.org/contest-calendar
* Kids Day always runs from 1800 UTC through 2359 UTC. Operate as much or as little as you like.

Suggested Exchange-
