The ARRL Santa Barbara Section
The Santa Barbara Section consists of the California coastal counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. It is part of the Southwestern Division and is bounded by the Santa Clara Section to the North, the San Joaquin Valley Section to the East, and the Los Angeles Section to the South.
We are saddened by the passing of our Section Teaching Coordinator, Zak Cohen N6PK/SK on January 27, 2026. Zak was loved by everyone who knew him, and did so much to bring so many into our hobby.
