Annually, the crew on 3916 kHz connect Santa Claus to children across the Nation and World through the power of amateur radio.
Using a radio in the basement, in the car, on the SDR or remote base, hams huddle around their gear to connect to the Net Control so their children and grandchildren can experience the connection to the North Pole.
It is a magic time. The requests are typical, ex. toys and other items of pleasure.
Some are not so typical. Some ask for their families to be reunited. Some ask for more basic comfort items such as clothes and food.
The net really brings the meaning of Christmas to life to people of all faiths. Protestant and Catholic join with Hebrew, Islam, and others to recognize that Peace is possible.
Such is the message in the move Silent Night. Based on a true story set in the World War II Battle of the Bulge, the story line shows a woman of faith naming a truce between combatants who share the comfort of her home while sharing in a Christmas meal.
The Santa Net starts the Friday after Thanksgiving and concludes on Christmas Eve. Join in. Look for the magic. You will find it.
