But that does not mean we
are unfriendly! Most of our users are affiliated with a Law
Enforcement, Fire Protection, or emergency services agency
of some sort, but that's not a prerequisite to join us. If
you are a licensed Amateur Radio operator in the Southern
California area, and are looking for a Radio Home, then you
might want to consider us your destination.
