Join us tonight at 8 PM for the PCARS 2 Meter Net. This is a great time to exchange news and comments with other PCARS members. The net meets on 146.895 with a PL Tone of 118.8. Contact can also be made using EchoLink and the K8SRR-R node.
Also, if you are interested in helping with this net, consider becoming Net Control. It is a lot of fun and an easy skill to learn. Just let me know if you are interested.

Thursday, January 23, is the 4th Thursday of the month! Seems a bit early, but, it’s Net Night at the ClubSite! Doors will be open from 6:30 to 10:00PM +/-. Come on out! I’m pretty sure we’re going to have a good time. Bring along some QRP equipment, ideas, antennas, etc.. and let everyone know how they can get on the air as a QRP’r and have some fun at the upcoming FYAO.
Hope to see you there and hear you on the net.
