[HCRA] Santa and Ham Radio

[Daniel J. Sullivan]

Hello All,

Couple things. I have heard through various sources that the North American Air Defense (NORAD) @ Cheyenne Mountain will once again be coordinating a Santa Tracking Service at http://www.noradsanta.org . They will help track Santa around the world and provide a Fighter Escort where able and necessary so St. Nick can safely get around.

Also, there is an effort on APRS to provide more information on Santa's location. Users of UI-View are looking into putting objects out to help people see Santa on RF or Internet Sources using http://www.Findu.com . The object will be labeled SANTA and have a unique number for where in the world he is related to both time zone and country. Once I know more I will pass it along.

Happy and Safe Holidays to all!
