| FRRL Next Gen Hams - 2006 |
| See pictures from the Jan 29th TNG Hams Quiz Show |
| On January 8, 2006 (last year's winter Kid's Day),
the kids made 25 contacts across 40M SSB, 20M SSB & packet, 2M FM and 70cm FM IRLP.
Many of the FRRL club members also joined in on the FRRL repeater to give the kids local QSOs. |
| In less than 4 hours, the young ops made contact with 5 other kids, worked people ranging in age from 6 to 75, and reached 8 states and Canada (and still had time for pizza!). |
| We'd like to thank the station control ops who made their time available for this event:
Greg N9CHA, John K9COE, Eric KC9FQV, and Dean KC9EOQ. Tobi K9TCD and Tom WB9CHY also enjoyed being
a part of the event and learned as much as the kids! |
