Dating back to 1927, the United Radio Amateur Club (URAC) serves the Los Angeles harbor area from San Pedro, California with members from nearby communities. URAC placed 1st in the nation in the first and second ARRL Field day operating events in 1933 and 1934. 10-10 International Net members welcome collecting our #99.

Our primary field operations site is Angels Gate Park overlooking the Point Fermin Lighthouse and the Korean Bell. This former Fort MacArthur reservation overlooks the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors and the Pacific Ocean. This location also provides a great communications control point for various public service events we routinely support.

In 1987, the Los Angeles Maritime Museum (LAMM) invited URAC to become one of its permanent volunteer groups to educate visitors on radio communication. Thus began a relationship that has provided a meeting place, a VE testing site and our K6AA operating station that has made friends all over the world. Situated on the main channel of Los Angeles Harbor in what was once a ferry building, our antennas are behind the clock tower approximately 21 meters above salt water. Club members man the station Tuesday through Sunday, demonstrating communications to everyone -- from classes of local school children to museum visitors from all over the globe. We look forward to working you or having you visit our station.
