Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club will provide communications support via amateur radio to the Fiesta Parade on August 3,2018. If you are interested in assisting, please contact Rick Whitaker at rickwhtr@cox.net. There are many open positions and operators will receive free lunch after the parade! Events can be a lot of fun and you will be working with a great SBARC team to provide a very valuable public service.

Due to the damage caused by the mudslides on Highway 192, the Santa Barbara Triathlon, which was scheduled for August 25, 2018, has been Officially CANCELLED. SBARC had been planning on providing communication support to this event. Mudslide and fire damage may impact several other events and our event support schedule might be less than what it normally is this year so we encourage you to sign up for Fiesta.
