PCARS puts the FUN in Ham Radio!

Check us out at our local meeting and see how much fun we’re having in person! In addition to our monthly meeting, we try to have at least one activity each month—another good opportunity to check us out. If you think we look like we’re having FUN, then the next step is to join us. We’ve got members as far away as California and we welcome all Hams as part of our group.

In addition to having fun, we have made friendships with other Amateur operators, and have spread the message about what Ham radio is all about to our communities. Read the rest of this entry »

Congratulations – Tech Class Grads!

Nov 20

Posted by kc8pd in News

Congratulations to the graduates of the PCARS Fall Technician class who have passed the test and been issued their call signs:

Jonathan Fox KD8MLE
Eileen Mohr KD8MLF
Randy Morrow KD8MLG
John Doyle KD8MLH
Gary Burden KD8MLI

A special congratulation goes to Bruce Costarella, KA8SWC, a long-time Novice who upgraded to Technician.

All of these hams will also become PCARS members at the January meeting.

We hope to see all of them back in January for the General Upgrade Class. Make sure that when you hear them on the air you extend your personal congratulations and offer your assistance as they become accustomed to on-air operations.

This was the ninth time that we have held the Technician class and fifty-four of our students have become licensed, many of them upgrading to General and Amateur Extra. The next class will be held in Spring 2010 and information will be posted on the web site in the meantime for those who may be interested. Prospective hams should remember that the Technician test pool is being updated and expanded to 400 questions effective July 1, 2010.

You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry

Sep 28

December 14, 2009

The Annual PCARS Christmas Party is slated for Monday, December 14 at Paradise Lakes Country Club in Brimfield. Once again, we will have a formal meal, cash bar, and much merry making.

New this year, live entertainment. Stelvis and the Graceland Band will be performing for your dining pleasure!

Our Christmas Party has always been a good time to meet with not only your fellow hams, but their spouses and children as well. It’s a good opportunity to include the family and let them see first hand what a great group of people make up the PCARS membership!

The cost this year will be $25 per person (half price for children) and includes dinner, dessert, coffee or soft drinks, entertainment and all the fun you care to have. We’ll again have a gift exchange for everyone present. More specific details will be given as we get a bit closer to the time – watch for an email.
