Kids Day is June 21st

sun rays (http://www NULL.flickr NULL.com/photos/29062469 null@null N00/2466539290/)Kid’s Day, the creation of the Boring Amateur Radio Club (http://jzap NULL.com/k7rat/) (of Boring, Oregon) is a way to show off our hobby to today’s youngsters.

I received my first ham radio license when I wasn’t even 16 years old — so appealing to this age group is a good thing.

Suggestions for club events:

  • Setting up at local schools
  • Setting up at a local supermarket
  • Setting up at other events

You can show a bunch of different aspects of the hobby — even CW Skimmer (I couldn’t resist…).

It’s a good cause. Time to get planning!

  • Our club will be doing Kids Day for the first time this year. This has been a goal of mine personally for years.

    @Howard Parks, AB9FH -This is a great idea. I'm hoping more clubs pick up on this and promote the hobby.
