The Benicia Amateur Radio Club (BARC) is a very active group of Ham Radio operators with a slant towards Emergency Communications. Working under the umbrella of Solano County's Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS) organization, and the Benicia Fire Dept, many members also possess Sheriff Dept issued ACS identification cards and Fire Dept issued Disaster Service Worker (DSW) ID cards. The BARC partners with, and is supported by, the Benicia Fire Dept and operates the EOC Ham Radio station KB6EOC in the Emergency Operations Center in the main Fire Station. Please visit our Website: http://www.BeniciaARC.com BARC's two UHF repeaters (KR6BEN) are at an elevation of 600 feet above Benicia.
