Greetings all!
It’s a bit chilly outside which probably has most of us thinking about anything other than being outside. Unless, of course, it’s to head over to the Club Site for Winter Field Day!
But take a moment while you’re staying warm and send your Radiogram inputs over to kc8jc@portcars.org
We welcome any and all articles and links that are relevant to this great hobby of ours.
Please be sure to get them in at the latest by MONDAY, JANUARY 26th.
73!

WINTER FIELD DAY 2026!
GREETINGS FROM FRIGID PORTAGE COUNTY!
PCARS will participate in the Winter Field Day 2026 at our World Headquarters in Ravenna, OH. This is our first rodeo for WFD!
Check the WFD website for more information:

WFD is a 30 hour event, 1600z (11:00AM) Saturday 24th through 2159z (4:59PM) Sunday 25th. HOWEVER, we will be operating from 11:00AM through 9:00PM Saturday.
Please try to stop in before going to the store for the upcoming storm! Say “Hi”, and get some food and hot coffee!
BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE AND DANGEROUS STORM ARRIVING SATURDAY EVENING, WE WILL NOT BE EXTENDING HOURS AFTER 9:00PM AND NOTHING ON SUNDAY.
The club site will be open before 10:00AM to prepare WFD operations.
Stop by to say “Hi”, or be there for the whole day!
I will be making chicken & dumplings and frank & beans!
Bob will be bringing donuts!
We will have coffee all day
IF YOU WANT TO BRING SOMETHING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW FOR PLANNING, AT w8net@me.com

Hey PCARS Members:
73 – Chuck W8PT
Please note: There will NOT be a net-night at the clubsite this month. It will return on February 26th. All PCARS Nets will run as regularly scheduled. No – it’s not the weather, I’m just trying to get a few projects in order……
I do want to remind you all about the Struthers ROAR Hamfest, Saturday January 31st, 2026 – 8AM to 1PM at St Nicholas Hall – 762 5th St, Struthers, OHIO. This is a NEW Hamfest in our area (relatively) – let’s get out there and show them some support!
73,
Tom WB8LCD PCARS VP
