This site contains some links and sources of information about our club in
Ventura County, California 

The club has evolved through a lot of changes over the years, and many dedicated hams are still trying to make this club the best it can be. We always welcome new hams, old hams, and non-hams who are interested in learning about radio communications and sharing the friendship and camaraderie of the local ham community. We encourage volunteers to step forward and to actively participate and fill some open positions. We would like to hold classes for any individuals interested in obtaining new licenses and upgrades, and are looking for instructors and students interested in participating. Local ARRL license exams can be located here. We are also planning activities such as:

Field Day JUNE 25/26, 2011
Summer Picnic on Oct. 25, 2011
Christmas Dinner Party DECEMBER 9, 2011

Our regular Net is each Monday night at 8:30 PM local time. The net begins at 8:30 PM on Ten Meters on 28.400 MHz USB, and then changes over to Two Meters on the WB6YQN Repeater of Oxnard on 146.970 MHz (-)(PL 127.3)(Thanks to Jay WB6YQN)

Our Club Meeting is on the second Friday of each Month at the location listed above at 7:30 PM. This meeting is open to the public and any interested persons may attend. We often have a presentation followed by a break, and then proceed to club business. A Board meeting is held before the general meeting and all members are invited. After the meeting some members adjourn for Pizza to rag chew. Come by and join us and share your Ham radio interests. This location will make it easier to provide actual live radio communication demonstrations.

Field Day 2011 is on June 25-26, 2011 and we set up at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. We will have a Solar powered Field day and visitors are welcome. Come by and inspect the various solar panels and radio setups and get on the air. This is a good chance to setup and practice emergency communications.
The attending members always have a lot of fun making contacts around the country and the globe.

Summer BBQ-picnic & Swap October 25th at 9 AM. Bring your extra equipment, books, and ham radio toys and money for the swap/sale table. Bring your favorite items for cooking on the BBQ and an extra potluck item to share with the group. We anticipate attendance from members from other local ham clubs such as the VCARS Club. There may be a few active radios set up for live radio fun. The public is invited to come and share the fun.
