Jan. 6th: ARRL Kids Day event with PAARC and the Education Alliance for Amateur Radio

Dec 17, 2023 | Club event, Education, STEM

ARRL Kids Day Event
Jan. 6, 2024, 1:00 PM to 6:59 PM
Civil Air Patrol Squadron 904 – Quakertown Airport, 2425 Milford Square Pike, Quakertown, PA 18951

The Pottstown Area Amateur Radio Club (K3ZMC) and the Education Alliance for Amateur Radio (KE3AAR) will offer an ARRL Kids Day event. The Civil Air Patrol Squadron 904 from Quakertown will be aiding and hosting us at their facilities. 

What is Kids Day?
The ARRL offers an event twice a year to promote amateur radio to our youth. Share the excitement with your kids or grandkids, a Scout troop, a church, or the public! Kids Day is designed to give on-the-air experience to young people and foster interest in getting their own license. It is also intended to allow older hams to share their station and love for amateur radio with their children. 

For Kids:
If you are a young person interested in amateur radio, stop by during the event.   Take the opportunity to get on the air and learn what amateur radio is all about.  

For Civil Air Patrol Members:
Stop by and assist in operating the station and expand your knowledge of communications. An amateur radio license can provide valuable knowledge and experience that can be brought over to CAP in your role as a member or if you desire to pursue a Communications specialty track. 

For Amateur Radio Operators (We need PAARC member participation):
Listen on any of the following frequencies 10 Meters: 28.350 to 28.400 MHz, 12 Meters: 24.960 to 24.980 MHz, 15 Meters: 21.360 to 21.400 MHz, 17 Meters: 18.140 to 18.145 MHz, 20 Meters: 14.270 to 14.300 MHz 40 Meters: 7.270 to 7.290 MHz, 80 Meters: 3.740 to 3.940 MHz or the Pottstown Amateur Radio Club repeaters 147.210+ 131.8 and 443.55+ 131.8. FT8 on 40 and 20 Meters. Answer any “CQ Kids Day” calls.   The suggested exchange is name, age, location, and favorite color. Be sure to work the same station again if an operator has changed. To draw attention, call  “CQ Kids Day.”
