"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.

The Los Angeles Maritime Museum was formally known as the Municipal Ferry Building from the '40s thru 1973, when the Vincent Thomas Bridge was built. It is now a beautiful and well kept museum, and home to URAC Amateur Station K6AA.

The Museum has lots of interesting displays, ship models (from very old to modern), as well as a Navy Hall. We welcome visitors to K6AA's window located on the second floor of the museum across from the Brass Room.

Welcome to K6AA, the Club Station of URAC (United Radio Amateur Club).  For over 25 years the station has been located within the Los Angeles Maritime Museum, at the bottom of 6th Street in San Pedro, CA.  Manned by club members whenever the museum is open, new ham club-members are welcome to join these volunteers as operators of the station.  If you find yourself in or near San Pedro, drop by the museum and visit the K6AA window to see what all the excitement's about.
