Club Meetings
Meeting Location |
|---|
| Kent American Legion Post 496 1945 Mogadore Rd, Kent, OH Click here for directions |
PCARS meets the 2nd Monday of each month. All are welcome. We meet at a full-service restaurant, so many people come early (around 6pm) for dinner and conversation before the meeting, and to catch up with friends. We keep the business end of things to a minimum, so we can concentrate on ham radio FUN!
Meetings begin 7pm SHARP

You can study on your own for the licensing test, or attend our Ham Radio Licensing Classes. Check the PCARS event Calendar for the next class session.
