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.

Yes you have to ID but not in your own voice. Yes the kids can call
CQ under your supervision. If you use the lowest power setting and an
unpopular simplex frequency for the unit to unit calls it is rather
unlikely that anyone except the kids and you will hear it. Check with
your club and find a woman operator to respond to the CQ. Smaller
children will respond better to a woman's voice.
