» PAPA System Welcome |
Welcome to the PAPA System's Website & Forums! Come on In -- Explore -- and Have Some Fun!
- About the PAPA System - The PAPA System is a community of 300+ radio amateurs enjoying the use of twenty-two (22) inter-linked analog and digital D-Star repeaters, providing extensive coverage of the Southern California region and beyond. We have reliable communications from the Mexico border to North of Santa Barbara, and from the Arizona border to "maritime mobile" well out into the Pacific Ocean. Our system also includes access to the Hollywood IRLP Node which can link your radio to thousands of other nodes all over the world!
The People of PAPA Our membership is a family of radio amateurs who enjoy utilizing the system and its features, attending various organizational events, and gaining new friendships through their affiliation and participation in the PAPA System. With over 300 members from every walk of life, the people are the real treasure of the PAPA System! We have a multitude of interests, talents and backgrounds, so there is always something interesting to be heard! We encourage visitors and new users to use the system, meet our members, and enjoy the good times that the PAPA System offers. The technology of the PAPA system is great, but it is the friendly people that you will find on the air out here that really makes the PAPA system what we all consider to be the best repeaters system anywhere!
How did we get our name? The Pocket Auto-Patch Association (PAPA) name, derives from the telephone auto-patch feature that enabled amateur radio operators to place telephone calls from their ham radios prior to the advent of cellular phone service in the 1980s. The name stuck and remains in use today!
Providing service to our Community When the need arises, the PAPA System provides critical amateur radio support to various public safety, emergency, and rescue organizations. Many PAPA members donate their time to local disaster communications organizations and to other regional and community events like the annual Baker-to-Vegas Challenge Cup Relay for law enforcement agencies.
PAPA members come together… PAPA breakfast meetings take place at 8:00 a.m. on the second Saturday of every month, alternating each month between the San Fernando Valley and West Los Angeles. The Annual PAPA Family Summer Picnic is usually in June and the Holiday PAPA Fiesta luncheon takes place in December. (In 2010, there will be regular breakfast meetings in June and July, with the Picnic on Sunday, July 18.) For the full schedule of 2010 PAPA events, click here.
