What we’re about
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.
