Amateur Radio Kids Day

On the IARU Region 1 site Lisa PA2LS writes about the Amateur Radio
Kids' Day event that takes place today, Sunday 8th January.

Kids Day is an on-air event to encourage young people (licensed or
not) to have fun with Amateur Radio.

The Kids Day operating event is not a contest. It’s a way to tell
young people worldwide about the magic and mystery of two-way hobby
radio communications.

To do this, Amateur radio stations are being asked to devote this
short time window to promote the terrestrial hobby and ham radio
satellite operations to youngsters. This, by providing a place to make
contacts with other Kids Day stations around the world.

It is designed to give on-the-air experience to youngsters 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
