The Idaho State RACES group has been providing a local hospital with an experience that bring smiles and fun to many children who are being treated for cancer related illnesses. Two years ago we expanded our service to children who were inpatients at the regular hospital across the street.
These children get a chance to talk to Santa or one of his helpers at the North Pole Workshop by way of HF radio. Because Santa knows all children, he has a very personal conversation with them and usually finds out what they might want for Christmas. All who are involved have fun and enjoy that very special Christmas Spirit that we are looking for.
If you would like to provide a member of your family with that same special opportunity to talk to Santa at the North Pole Workshop, please do the following:
Fill out the personal information about your child by clicking on the link. Santa's Workshop (http://www.the-one.com/id/SantasWorkshop.php)
Tune into 7.284Mhz (+/_ for qrm) on December 15th starting at 5:00 pm MST and make a QSO with Santa's Workshop by calling for WC7BDS. Santa's Workshop will be making contacts with hams starting with the Eastern Time Zone first and then working across the USA ending at the Pacific Time Zone. Everyone is welcome.
Please remember to fill out the form as soon as you can. It will be sent directly to Santa's Workshop and must be received before Santa will make contact with you.
