On Sunday, January 3rd, my number one and only son Zach and I made the yearly pilgrimage to the Schenectady Musum to participate in KIDS DAY. KIDS DAY is a nationwide ham radio event sponsored by the American Radio Relay League and covered on the local front by the Schenectady Museum Amateur Radio Association. On hand to greet visitors young and old alike, and to show them the mysteries of amateur radio, were Mike KB2VQS, James N2UZQ, Jerry WA2IWW, Daniel KC2VEX, along with Zach KC2VWY and yours truly Bill N2FNH.
.
Armed with my trusty cheap forty-nine dollar Radio Shack audio cassette recorder, otherwise known as the C49DRSACR, I was able to secure what I like to refer to as audio snapshots. These audio snapshots were then clipped, trimmed and rolled up into a neat seven and a half minute Random Access Thought special feature currently posted on TWAUDIO and soon to be heard on an upcoming This Week In Amateur Radio. Zach did the hosting chores while I got in close, microphone in hand, with some really amazing kids who were equally amazed by everything they saw and heard. Factored into the mix too are some vintage late 1950's animation sound effects. A RAT is not a RAT without some of those!
.

What follows are some mug shots of the usual suspects:
