Bio
After an ARALB Ham University Technician License class at the Long Beach VA, about 15 veterans decided to start a ham radio club at the VA for veterans, VA employees, VA volunteers, and their families. We became a club on October 2, 2015. Since then we have grown to about 30 members, a number of whom are also ARALB members.
Our primary purpose, being on a hospital campus, is to provide hospital emergency communications for the Long Beach Medical Center. In that effort, we have been provided a trailer for our station.
We participate in many activities both on and off the campus. We are ARRL affiliated, we are members of the Los Angeles Area Council of Clubs, and we participated in the last HAMCON in Torrance. We are open to participating in more events to hone our EmComms Skills while having some fun.
If you are a veteran, VA employee, VA volunteer, or a family member of one of these groups, we invite you to join us. Our monthly meetings will resume once the Covid crises is over. We hold our nets on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm, on 449.700 MHz (-) PL 131.8, and visitors are always welcome to check in.
