Los Angeles Area Council of Amateur Radio Clubs (LAACARC), is composed of Delegates from its more than 30 member clubs and a set of Officers elected by and from the Delegates. All of LAACARC meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every other month starting in January. If the meeting date falls on a Holiday, it is moved up one week.

The Council is supported by annual dues of $10.00 paid by each member club. Each club selects their delegate and an alternate. Our territory is all of, but only, Los Angeles County. The function of the Council is to spearhead progress on issues affecting radio amateurs in the Los Angeles Section of the ARRL Southwestern Division.

For Example -- The Council provided guidance and input in achieving a ham-friendly antenna ordinance for the unincorporated areas of the county. That ordinance is being used as a guide for numerous city ordinances under consideration.

Meeting Location -- The Los Angeles Maritime Museum in San Pedro. Click on the Meeting Location for information and directions. Meeting starts at 7:30 P.M.

Future Hamfests and Conventions -- Go to the ARRL DATABASE, choose your State, then press Show Events by State.

We are American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Affiliated.

ARRL's Legislative Action Program 

LEGISLATIVE ACTION ASSISTANTS WANTED:

The Los Angeles Area Council of Amateur Radio Clubs (LAACARC) recognizes the importance the ARRL Legislative Action Program. Representation is needed to cover the 18 Congressional Districts in Los Angeles County by ARRL members wishing to participate in this program. As of February 2008, there were no volunteers in the Los Angeles area and the Legislative Action Coordinator resigned late last year. We need your help to build up "Amateur Radio's Voice" in our area by educating our Congressional Representatives about the importance and value of Amateur Radio.

I expect to hear more about the coordination of this program from our SW Division Director, Richard J. Norton (N6AA). Mr. Norton had previously posted the need for volunteers in an earlier edition this year of the ARRL SW Division E-Communicator. As soon as the information becomes available, we will post it here. In the interim time, if you would like to volunteer as a Legislative Action Assistant (LAA), please contact Richard Norton at N6AA@arrl.org.
