CalZona Link
The CalZona Link is a joint venture with our friends at CORA radio club. Running from Mt Woodson to Phoenix Az, this link is a great way to stay in touch with friends and have coverage over the Southwest area to talk to your friends that have moved out of California. Join us Sunday nights at 6pm for the CalZona net. This net meets weekly and covers San Diego, Imperial and Arizona. Our partners in Arizona are the ARA, Arizona Repeater Association. They have a superb network that covers all of the big sites around Arizona. They support the Arizona side of the CalZona link.
