For the 4th year, Santa has sent Elf Chucky and his team of Amateur Radio operators to Northern Colorado to help ensure Children of all ages can talk to Santa (NØP) from the North Pole. Thanks to LARC (Longmont Amateur Radio Club), NCARC (Northern Colorado Amateur Radio Club), and (Alford Memorial Radio Club), children can get into the holiday spirit by talking to Santa on the radio.
This year’s event will start this Friday, November 29th, and run through Tuesday, December 10th. For your convenience, we are on five local repeaters.
LARC Repeaters – 147.270 (+) 100/100 Longmont
LARC Repeaters — 448.800 (-) 88.5/88.5 Longmont
NCARC Repeaters — 447.700 (–) 100.0/100.0 Buckhorn
NCARC Repeaters – 146.625 (–) 100.0/100.0 Buckhorn
NCARC Repeaters – 146.850 (–) 100.0/100.0 Nunn
We will also be on Echolink node WØENO-R 8305.
Due to this year’s solar events, “ELFS” (ELF Scientists) are trying to predict the best times to transmit so the boys and girls can talk to Santa. For more information on times, visit https://w0eno.org/santa/
