A Nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to the advancement of Amateur Radio Communications in Southern California.
SCIRA, Inc. was born on October 13, 2007. Its purpose is to provide a linked amateur radio repeater network for Emergency Response Communications. It facilitates radio communication from Fresno to San Diego, independent of cell service. The network has been developed and supported by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, although there is no direct affiliation with the church. In the event of an emergency, communications between SCIRA members have priority use of all SCIRA, Inc. repeaters; this is a central theme of SCIRA, Inc. Otherwise, our system is open to use by our ham community.
SCIRA, Inc. is also involved in promoting general amateur radio by providing resources such as weekly Nets, license advancement, and promoting efficient and proper emergency practices.
