Club Meetings
| 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 |
|

PCARS Club Site
We have what we think is one of the finest club sites in Ohio (or the rest of the country). You can find it at 705 Oakwood St, in Ravenna. We’ll admit that the site isn’t the easiest to find, so hopefully these pictures and map will help. |
