How to Let Kids Talk with Santa Over Ham Radio This Holiday Season

Thanks Walt/KK7DRL for pointing this out.

How to Let Kids Talk with Santa Over Ham Radio This Holiday Season

?
?

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?.

?

Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be on the air, together, thanks to special arrangements with the??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??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.

?

Also, for the 4th year, Santa has sent Elf Chucky and his team of amateur radio operators to northern Colorado, to help make sure children of all ages can talk to Santa on station N?P from the North Pole. Thanks to the??and the?, children can get into the holiday spirit by talking to Santa on the radio. Both are ARRL Affiliated Clubs. Get the details on that operation at?.


Re: Rescheduling of the November KBARA meeting

 

Colleen,
?? Thank you for the generous offer of the use of your office space for Club meetings.? Sorry I did not thank you earlier, holidays got kinda hectic. I would like to schedule a time to stop by and "recon" the space so we have a known backup.

Thanks again!

KBARA,
To avoid conflict, we were going to reschedule November's meeting from the 27th to the 20th. However, the large room has already been reserved by another group for the 20th. We may reserve the medium room for the 20th, but there is a fire marshal limit of 20 people in that room. Note: we usually only have about 20 people attend.
Other options include large room on the 19th or the large room on the 27th knowing we may have limited participation because of Thanksgiving being on the 26th.

I am calling for a vote (ironically):
__ Tuesday, Nov 19 large room
__ Wednesday, Nov 20 medium room (20 people)
__ Tuesday, Nov 27th large room (before Thanksgiving)

In any case it may be a small meeting with a class, socializing and some info distribution.

I will finalize the reservations at noon on Friday, Nov 8th and email the plan. You may reply to this email, or send your response to info@... to get it to all the Executives.

We also need to discuss the schedule for the December meeting. Walt should have some info forthcoming.

Thanx,

Re: Snowflake Parade

 

Walt,
This would be quite difficult to have at this time for Manu and me. We have her twin here from St. Petersburg, FL and we have my middle son and my daughter-in-law here from Newberg.
Monday or Tuesday would be better for us.

Re: November KBARA meeting on the 19th

 

The bulk of the in-person ARES meeting will be an "ARES 101" presentation given to ARES and K-BAR-A members and guests at WaFed's big Community Meeting Room.? I do not know if K-BAR-A will be transmitting the pre-club meeting via zoom.
