     This was our best SCR ever!  Over 100 sixth grade students talked on the radio from Jefferson Middle School in Rochester, NY.  The students were thrilled as were their teachers and school supervisors.  This four hour "production" was accomplished by 6 radio coaches: N2UEE, WB2YJH, N2JAC, KX2H, K2OU and W2SKY.  We used the K2JD call sign operating 3 stations simultaneously in the school library.  Two stations were on HF and the 3rd station used EchoLink to connection with Thailand.  Hams at the other end of our QSO's were exceptionally skilled at engaging our students with enjoyable conversations.  It doesn't get any better than this.
