For the 16th consecutive year, The 3916 Nets will be presenting The Santa Net on 3.916 MHz. Girls and boys can talk to Santa Claus, via amateur radio, nightly at 7:00 PM Central starting Friday, November 28, the day after Thanksgiving, through Christmas Eve, December 24. “We enjoy helping young people and their families have a shared Christmas experience that they’ll always remember,” said Pete Thomson, KE5GGY. “Christmastime is a very special time for our nets every year … And we’re thrilled to introduce young people to the excitement of amateur radio.” Youngsters can talk to “Santa at the North Pole” via strategically-placed operators who relay the voice of Santa. Thomson said that The Santa Net is a team effort that involves a number of 3916 Net members. “In our first year, we connected 10 kids to Santa on ham radio and it’s grown steadily since. This year, we’re expecting over 1,000 children to participate.” Prior to each night’s Santa Net, pre-net check-ins can be made at www.cqsanta.com. Third party rules and regulations apply. The Santa Nets are presented annually by The 3916 Nets, which include The Rag Chew Crew, The Tailgaters, and The Freewheelers. For more information on The 3916 Nets, go to www.3916nets.com.
