Please pardon the slightly off-topic subject. I'm giving a class at
my grandson's school next month and I'm going to include ham radio,
with some of the kids presumably getting on the air. Of course, an
unlicensed person can operate if a properly licensed control operator
is present. Is there a source of more detailed information? I
keyword searched Part 97 and found no surprises. I think good sense
prevails.

But:
If I set up two HTs to talk simplex across a room, how do I/we ID?
KD6VKW/Alfa and KD6VKW/Bravo, maybe?
Can the kids call CQ?
Do they ID with my callsign or must I provide the ID in my own
voice?
Are there other sticking points?

In the absence of official guidance, your opinions are welcome.
Thanks.

Don't ask too many questions.

Marconi would not have invented radio transmissions
according to FCC rules if he lived today.
We would still live without radio.
