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.

Radio club to honor Reagan
February 2, 2011 12:00 AM
SANTA BARBARA The Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club was given a commemorative call sign, "W6R," to use Saturday through Monday in honor of President Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday celebration, a club press release said.
Over the course of the weekend, members of the club, which was founded in 1920, will communicate with other amateur radio operators around the world.
All stations that contact SBARC will be given a special commemorative card indicating the time, date and frequency of their contact with the radio club.
The Ventura Amateur Radio Club also will be active and remembering the Gipper this weekend. Its call sign will be "K6R."
Thanks for "SB News Press" info.
(As an Eastern Airlines P.R. Manager used to say in the late 1980s: Any press coverage, even if incorrect, is better than none! In 30 days, no one will remember the mistakes made and the adverse data: life will go on.)
BTW: My release to a couple of Ventura newspapers also stated your club name and callsign properly. Let's see what happens!
