That time of year again. One evening several years ago I was tuned into the 3916 Santa Net. The YL walked into the room. It caught her attention and she commented "So far, that's the most productive use of ham radio I've ever seen". https://www.cqsanta.com/
Santa's own amateur radio station with the callsign OH9SCL. Try out for a talk around christmas at different HF bands.
This year marks 3 years since I activate the YR8XMAS station every year. Every year, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one, there are stations at least in Europe that do the same thing. If we are still so many "Santa Clauses", why not try to collaborate and give a diploma to those who work us. This year is too late, but if there are interested radio amateurs who activate stations with the suffix XMAS, HNY, etc.., who would like to launch this diploma starting next year, please write to me. It would be about developing the rules, the graphic aspect of the diploma etc.. but especially the software necessary for the accounting of QSO, something for which I do not have the skills. eMail : cramil2005@gmail.com
There is also a Santa Net on the American-KC-wide fusion room to see more about it check this out; America's Kansas City Wide – Kansas City wide-area System Fusion network (kansascityroom-wide.com) Levi Mol K8LJM

Any ham who willfully interferes with a kid talking to Santa will find a lump of RFI-emitting coal in their stocking come Christmas morning.
I hope everyone around the world has a wonderful Christmas... How many pairs of socks will you need this year? It's the same as the number of children who have countless dreams. Begin the good on the air,you will give beautiful dream and holidays any stations
How do I log the contact on QRZ via echolink? Do I choose the 2m frequency of 147.270? I'm a new ham so trying to add the QSO with N0P from our contact with Santa with my daughter and I. Thank you!
