Yesterday, Ralph, AA8RK, the Michigan Section Public Information Coordinator, sent me this email:
What would it take to do this in SE Michigan?
Included was a link to this video:
My take would be that you would want to:
- Make up a schedule for when Santa would be on the air (6 – 8 pm?)
- Recruit volunteers that would be good at being Santa (crucial!)
- Maybe provide a little training to the potential Santas (how do you answer tough questions?)
- Line up some kids (kids in hospital, school groups?)
- Line up a repeater
I think this is a neat idea, and if we get started now, we could perhaps pull it off next year. Have any of you done this? Do you have any advice to give us?
