Lafayette History Rabbit Holes – Acalanes Radio Station KCEQ: Las Lomas 1955-1956 Electronics Club (Las Lomas Gets An Amateur Radio Station)

The 1954-1955 Las Lomas Electronics Club was trying to get a ham radio set for the club. It would appear that they succeeded the following school year.

In the Spring edition of the 1956 Amateur Radio call book (Scans of the pages on Internet Archive) there is an entry for the Las Lomas Electronics Club.

The entry states the following:

K6JQP Las Lomas Electronics Club, Las Lomas High School, Danville Highway, Walnut Creek,

Their call letters were K6JQP.

Thanks to the 1957 El Caballero, we know that David William Appleton…

and Hal Gary Bell were members at this time.

That’s all the information on this part that we have at the moment. As with all these posts, please feel free to share any information you might have.
