June 21, 2014 was Kid's Day for amateur radio. It is an event designed to promote Amateur Radio to our youth. It is a time when we can share the excitement of this hobby with kids by giving them an on-the-air experience that will foster their interest in getting involved with radio and possibly getting a license of their own.

We were very excited to have Arnie Schatz N6HC, back with us again this year. He brought two other operators with him, Tim Goeppinger N6GP and Cass Kazmierkiewicz W6SQC to work the radio with the students and to demonstrate Morse Code. We were also fortunate to have Eric Archer N6CV, to work with students on the radio.

Students had a lot of fun getting on the air and playing secret message games with the key. Thank you guys for volunteering your time and expertise and providing these kids with the opportunity to explore the wold of radio!
