"Who ya' gonna call? San Pedro Radio Hams!"
Public Demonstration of Emergency Communications June 23-24
San Pedro, CA -- June 2012
Despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications, every year whole regions suddenly find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate.

Field Day 2011. I was really happy this year. I can't thank everyone enough who helped to make it a great occasion.
- Propagation was not great this year. In and Out at best.
- The TRW radio station, operating about 3 miles from us at Friendship Park, reported to one of our club members today "your 15M station was 'killin it'." I don't know if that's good or bad, but Ray said it was good... ;)
- We made 383 QSO's without a graveyard shift. 112 on 10Meters and 271 on 15Meters!
- We contacted 46 states, missing only Alaska, New Jersey, Delaware, and Washington.
- We contacted 5 of 9 Canadian Providences.
- We contacted Puerto Rico, but missed the Virgin Islands, although I did hear them. Damn.
- There was little to no propagation to the north. I was surprised to see we contacted OR and BC at all.
- I had one "remote" contact from a 1D LAX who was remote in from Tokyo
- We worked with an antenna which, at best, was a 3:1 SWR (both bands) when we put it up, so we weren't at our best suffering some loss there and from a coupled cable, but we still did ok.
- We were supposed to have a rotator too, but it was forgotten by a party. We did fine without it though.
