[Kids] Thoughts on Kid's day

[Frank Krizan]

I didn't think Kid's Day was a "contest".  It's just allowing kids to talk
with other kids.  Scouts talk with other scouts, especially on JOTA.  We've
used the WARC bands a lot for GOTA (Guides on the Air) the third weekend of
February.  Nice clear freqs which often are more stable than 20m.

Since the ARRL sanctions this event, I would hope they would pipe in and
comment.

73, Frank KR1ZAN

These frequencies make sense to me.  However, are we permitted to use the
WARC Bands for Kid's Day?

Regards,
John
