Recently,
SBARC applied for grant funding from
Amateur
Radio Digital Communications for the new K6TZ Radio
Station at the Chrisman California Islands Center in
Carpenteria. ARDC
approved our application in the amount of
$35,550! This grant funding will cover all of the
budgeted costs of the CCIC Station.
This
project will expand SBARC’s footprint by offering an
additional physical station location serving members in
Carpinteria and Ventura County. The Club plans to host Club
gatherings at the CCIC Station as well as offer regular open
station hours and support radiosport contests from the site.
The Santa Cruz Island Foundation is
providing the 12′ x 7′ gallery space dedicated exclusively
to the radio station along with a 55″ TV monitor to display
a demonstration of SBARC’s various systems, including the
camera and vessel tracking systems on Diablo Peak, Santa
Cruz Island.
More information on this project can
be found on our website.
