ARRL Kids Day June 18
Please put the call out for participation in the ARRL Kids Day on Saturday, June 18.
The idea is to take your mobile rig and go to a public park near where you live, and all of us can coordinate across the PARC or other club repeaters to communicate with kids at other participating locations in San Diego County. Bring some flyers about your club to distribute AND the ARRL Kids Day Certificates.
arrl.org
There will be a group of PARC members and friends that will be in old Poway Park in Poway and will start operating at 0930 until about 1300.
Contact [email protected] if you want to participate with fellow PARC club members and other clubs in the County.
