ARRL Kids Day, January 8, 2012, National Scouting Museum
From Tom Scheussler, N5HYP —
We had a decently successful Kids day effort at the Museum on Jan 8. We made some good HF contacts including a long conversation between our Scouts and a big Scout setup in Hawaii. Had an active teen on the other end who talked with at least 4 or 5 scouts in the Museum. We also ran two satellite passes of AO-27 which netted 17 QSO-s. Click on the audio file below.
