Santa on the Air (SOTA) 2024 For the 4th year Santa has sent Elf Chucky (Elf Chief Scientist) and his team of Amateur Radio operators to Northern Colorado and Stone Mountain Georgia to help make sure Children of all ages can talk to Santa (NØP) from the North Pole. Thanks to LARC (Longmont Amateur Radio Club) along with 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.
