Tony Protor, KF4KFQ has announced this years Santa Net:
Santa Claus is coming! … To a receiver near you.
This year the Santa Net will once again be soaring through the skies of Middle Tennessee. Each year Tony, KF4KFQ, presents the “Santa Net” escorting Santa across Middle Tennessee. Amateur radio operators will be able to contact Santa during his rounds on the 146.415 simplex and 446.415 simplex.
For those heading out of the area or for our non-ham listeners, the Santa Net will be simulcast on YouTube.
Just go to: https://youtube.com/c/braintrusts
The Santa Net will begin at 7 PM CST on December 24th (Christmas Eve, of course) and will continue as long as traffic holds. In addition to talking with old Saint Nick there will be skits and readings of traditional Christmas favorites.
Sometimes a great introduction to ham radio that entertains the younger set is to let them speak to Santa on the air. Hams are invited to allow 3rd Party traffic to talk to Santa, as well as, provide reports of Santa Sightings and other items of interest on Christmas Eve.
