Santa Claus will be on the amateur radio airwaves again this year.
?
The 3.916 Santa Net will be on the air every night at 7:00 PM CST from November 29 through December 24. Reserve a spot with Santa by making a pre-net check in. You can check in each night starting at 6:30 PM CST online at www.CQSanta.com.
?
Santa and Mrs. Claus will also beon the air, together, thanks to special arrangements with the Cowley County Amateur Radio Club in Kansas. They will be on the air on the 147.000 repeater and the Sunflower Net system, between 10 AM and noon CST on November 30 and beginning at 10 AM until band conditions change on December 14 and 21. In addition to the local repeater, the Sunflower Net offers connection options to Allstar, DMR, Dstar, Echolink, Fusion, Hamshack Hotline, M17, and P25. The club is also setting up a radio link at the local library to talk to Santa. A special effort is being made to give children who are hospitalized or otherwise unable to visit personally an opportunity to reach out to Santa.

P.S.
(1)? If desired, we could switch W0VFW repeater from Blind Hams on Allstar to Sunflower Net system during the? Saturdays Nov 30th, December 14 and 21, while Santa is on the air 10am to Noon.
(2) our W0VFW group.io newest member Lloyd KC5CM in Arc City, is a big shot on Sunflower Net system...
