Amateur "ham" radio has long been an interest of mine, from walkie-talkies for personal use to being a distant radio relay during a search for a missing person. My current interests lie in hand-held transceivers (HTs), such as we use at Burning Man and the Bay to Breakers, but I'm always open to people hooking me on new toys.

Here are the (mostly) complete listings of California municipal radio frequencies. Because they're so large I've broken them up into several parts. Scanner enthusiasts, search-and-rescue folks, and emergency services workers will find these file useful to have while you're travelling (and working) around California. These listings date from about 1993, when I first put them on the web.
