About us
This SPECS Meetup group was created to promote events related to Ham Radio and disaster communications in the Bay Area. The events may require registration with the hosting organization, but are usually free. We encourage and support all aspects of Ham Radio, as any operator is a potential EmComm operator.
SPECS is a 501c3 organization dedicated to helping recruit and train people to serve as Emergency Communicators during disasters or public service events.

The entrance is on Frederick Street between Gault and Hanover.
Visitor Parking spaces inside the facility are few, but there is
usually adequate on-street parking on Frederick or Gault. Also
the medical facility directly across the street will be empty
Friday evenings and that would be a possibility. Please do not
park in La Posada resident spaces as you could get blocked in by
the assignee and have no way of leaving after the meeting.
We will have a greeter at the entrance and are asked to sign in on
a sign-in sheet once you get into the meeting room.1 attendee
