Santa Nets are back for 2022!

Came home last night to hear them wind down the list of 20 stations that had kids that wanted to do the Santa talk. FREQ = 3916kHz LSB, and the site to do the net and request your kids to be on this is:  https://www.cqsanta.com/   This year, they are also doing one-way ´Shout-Outs´ for just RX´ing SWL´ers and are using the neat tool of other folks´ Kiwi-SDR´s, which they had to do list night when 75M made it so one of the requested kid´s station couldn´t be heard by the ´Signed-In´ net stations, even with seven net stations in AL, FL, TX, NY, and MI. Still, they made it happen. This seems to be more of an East Coast / Mid-West thing, since the one stations for the West Coast had problems. So, if you want to try a unique way to combine radio fun, Christmas, and Amateur Radio coordination, on this annual net, check out 3916LSB and that CQ Santa site.

Just how non-sensible is our government? Whelp, if I were to propose that all instruction manuals for binoculars, microscopes, & telescopes, should be required to include a translation in Braille, for the Visually Impaired, quite likely it might pass. However, I would also propose that the manual's end should include, "This device is not recommended to be used by the Visually Impaired.", just to be real.
