When power and communications go out, amateur radio keeps working. As a test of emergency response, amateur radio clubs around the country – locally including the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) and the Ventura County Amateur Radio Society (VCARS) – hold annual field day exercises. These events are outdoors, completely self-supported, and open to the public. The goal: To make as many contacts (QSOs) with the outside world as possible.
The CVARC event took place in Hidden Valley, and was the largest of its kind in the nation, with 25 radio stations and more than 600 feet of antennas. The VCARS setup at the Reagan Library was nearly as large, with 17 radio stations. Thanks to all who took part – we’ll be depending on you when the next emergency strikes!

#SouthernCalifornia #wildfires force evacuations, and one is threatening a #nuclear facility
Evacuations remain in place for fires burning in #Ventura and #Riverside counties. The Sandy Fire in #SimiValley is burning near the #SantaSusanaFieldLaboratory, a former #NuclearReactor site, raising #AirQuality concerns.
By Emilee Speck, AccuWeather staff writer
Published May 21, 2026 1:08 PM EDT | Updated May 22, 2026 12:04 PM EDT
Excerpt: "Due to the Sandy Fire’s proximity to the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, a former nuclear reactor and rocket testing facility, officials are conducting air quality monitoring around the fire perimeter.
" 'Monitoring equipment has been proactively deployed to establish background air quality readings and to help assess conditions should the fire advance further into the area,' according to CAL Fire. 'At this time, the fire has not crossed into the Field Laboratory property.'
"Nuclear cleanup continues more than 50 years after a nuclear reactor mishap at the #Rocketdyne site. Fire crews are prioritizing the protection of the facility and the surrounding communities. "

Sandy Fire currently pushing smoke into western Simi, Moorpark, Somis. Opened up the windows before it gets warm in my are as we've got a brief respite from the smoke.
