Amateur Radio for Kids at the Museum

The DARC Section of the AJW is promoting the project "Amateur Radio for Kids at the Museum" for the third time.
The event will take place on March 20, 2011. The purpose of this project is to gain public attention for Ham Radio and also encouraging young people to take up Amateur Radio as a hobby.

All Amateur Radio stations located in museums and stations operating from  a museum for this special purpose are invited to participate in this project on March 20, 2011.

The event in Fuerth will include SSB Amateur Radio activity on shortwave and FM/SSB QSOs on the 2 meter and 70 cm bands. Kids will be allowed to run QSOs under the training call DN3NBW.

Crafts activities for kids will include building a morse key and sound generator kit.

This activity is planned to take place all over Germany, perhaps also in OE and HB and WE ASK YOU TO TAKE PART !

All participants will be awarded a certificate, newcomers interested in Amateur Radio will receive  additional information material.
