Piping in.

Well - this isn't the ARRL - but the Boring Amateur Radio Club...  and I guess
we have some role in defining what Kid's Day was - at some time or another.

Our role is greatly diminished at this point and it isn't totally clear to
me who is driving the train at the ARRL with respect to this contest.  But,
we can find out.

This forum was established a long time ago - and I had intended for it to 
be replaced with this:

I am surprised that the Kids Day events are not listed here - so I will ask
the ARRL what the story is.

Your other ideas are good ones.  Yes - use the WARC bands if you want.
