PCARS is an ARRL Affiliated, Special Services Club. We are a group of Amateur Radio hobbyists located in Portage County, Ohio who believe that the whole point of being in the hobby of Amateur Radio is to have fun with it. Whether you are a new ham or an “old timer”, PCARS has something to offer you. The PCARS monthly meeting is held the second Monday of each month and the meetings start at 7:00 PM. We meet at The American Legion Post 496 – 1945 Mogadore Rd, in Kent. Click for more info!!

It’s time again to collect Inputs for the upcoming edition of The Radiogram!
As always, we’re looking for topics of interest to you and your fellow hams that highlight all of the facets of this fascinating hobby. From building gear to the very science of radio, it’s welcome in The Radiogram.
If you’ve never contributed to The Radiogram or if it’s been a while, now is a great time to share something with the club.
Please send your inputs in a plain old text with full size pictures to kc8jc@portcars.org by Friday, 26-DEC-2025. With all of the holiday bustle and buzz, it’s critical that any submissions be sent in by the deadline.
Thanks!

Due to a family issue that came up this weekend I am cancelling the December Antenna SIG. I recommend everyone keep warm, stay safe and enjoy the Holidays.
