Ham Radio Operators Serving During California Firestorms
As the firestorms across Southern California continue to threaten millions of residents, trained amateur radio operators are serving critical volunteer roles to help officials spot fires before they get out of control. Dry conditions and wind gusts of 100 miles per hour have fueled days of devastating wildfires. Entire neighborhoods have been leveled by infernos.
Two Events on January 18th & 19th
There will be two big amateur radio events January 18th–19th:
- North American QSO Party
- POTA Winter Support Your Parks Event
