Dated press release appears in the Santa Barbara News Press. The SBNP got the Ventura call sign and club wrong. The call sign is N6R and the sponsoring club is the Ventura County Amateur Radio Society (VCARS).
The SBARC Rover will operate from the helicopter pad on Monday 7 February from 0900-1600. We have a couple of openings for radio operators on a first come first served basis. The operating area is restricted so operators must be committed for the entire day. There are no facilities on site.
