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?

Seems to me that "KD6VKW Portable 1" and and "KD6VKW Portable 2"
would be appropriate. The addition of arbitrary letters and or
numbers after your call sign could be misconstrued as meaning
something other than what you intend. The use of Portable 1, Portable
2, etc., is more straightforward and accurately describes the type of
conversation in progress.
