RACES Santiago and City Hall Repeaters Now Voting
Field Day 2011
W6O: Huntington Beach, CA RACES
Operating 6A in ORG this year. Our traditional location over-looking the Pacific Ocean once again provided plenty of public exposure. This year, we deployed the City’s Emergency Management and Homeland Security Volunteer Management Response Unit for the first time.
The air conditioned trailer is equipped with two-way radios for the fire and police department, and includes VHF and UHF Amateur Radio gear and an ATV system as well as generators, battery power and lighting.
A highlight of our operation included a visit from George Barker, NA1F, an ex-ARRL Hq. staffer, and Public Television cameraman. We look forward to seeing our 15 minutes of fame on upcoming video productions in the near future.
73 and see you next year,

Tsunami Photos
The Tsunami from the Japan earthquake hit Huntington Beach Friday morning. There wasn’t much of a Tsunami. We only saw a couple of feet tidal surge. These photos were taken from the main tower on the HB pier.

Surf City Marathon 2011 – 2 Meter Net Audio
The audio from the 2011 Surf City Marathon 2 meter net is at https://files.me.com/tim.sawyer/bwec0e. The net starts about 20 minutes into the recording. My apologies for the slightly slowed down speed of this recording. Everybody sounds like they’ve had one to many drinks.
