A few years back I volunteered for the Los Angeles Disaster Communication Service. Every Monday night ~ 4 – 5 of us convened in the basement of the Carson Sheriff’s station for a weekly net.
There was a background check, a uniform to be purchased, and some FEMA tests to be completed. Don’t let that stop you…take the time to handle the requirements that will let you get involved. It’s so worth it.
There is so much you can take do with ham radio. In 2018 I worked radio support for the Torrance Military Parade. Of course the only thing that mattered was the dog…
South Bay Amateur Radio Club, or South Bay Amateur Food Club, you decide…
I have a lot of fond memories of that club, of their barbecues at the park in the summer, their monthly lunches at Hoff’s Hut in Torrance CA. I met a lot of amazing people there, and got to do a lot of cool stuff. If you are located in the South Bay of Los Angeles County, you need to check out SBARC
