A Little More About SCRRBA

The members of SCRRBA are clubs and individual amateurs who construct and operate mobile and fixed relay amateur systems. Systems developed by our members are generally used for continuous on-going daily communications rather than the intermittent or random nature of HF communications more often associated with Amateur Radio operations. These systems generally are available for normal operation 24 hours a day. Various types of communications and control data are sent over these systems.  The members of most systems are “control” operators who are able to configure their system to meet any particular operational need. These systems each have an average membership of about 60 amateurs.  The largest of these systems has a membership exceeding 1,400.

SCRRBA is an active participant (usually the sponsor) in the amateur band planning process for the bands in which we perform coordination.  We represent the fixed and mobile relay interests in these regional band planning meetings.  These meetings occur when the existing plans do not cover a desired activity, or when they need to be upgraded to match new or increased activities.  These meetings are attended by representatives of ALL the amateur users of the band.  These band plans are adopted by unanimous consent of these representatives. The band plans produced at these meetings cover activity in the Southern California region.  Whenever we adopt a new band plan for our region, we submit it to the American Radio Relay League, Inc. (ARRL) to be included in national band planning efforts.
