The Oakland Radio Communication Association (ORCA) is an amateur radio organization dedicated to furthering the amateur radio hobby. It consists of members from Oakland, Alameda, Piedmont and other cities in the immediate area. ORCA strongly supports and is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (ARRL).

 

ORCA, while closely affiliated with the City of Oakland RACES group, is not a RACES organization.

 

Meetings are held the first Saturday of each month (except July) at 9:00 AM in the media room of Oakland Fire Station No. 1 located at 1605 Martin Luther King Jr. Way (between 16th and 17th Streets) in Oakland.
