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 »

**FYAO** PCARS QRP Event February 27th 2010

Jan 23

Posted by wb2dfc in Event Calendar

February 27, 2010
9:00 am

 

 

One of the favorite PCARS winter activities, The “Freeze Your Acorns Off ” Event, headed up by our very own Tom, WB8LCD, is right around the corner. Tom says:

“Once again, it’s “freeze your acorns off” time here at PCARS.” 

*The date is Saturday, February 27th, 2010.

*The time is 9:00 am until 6:00 pm.

*The location is Fred Fuller Park, in beautiful Kent, OHIO.

“We will have good fun, good fellowship, good food, good QRP activity, and this year, a contest for the participants!  (see the January PCARS Radiogram for contest details)  Bring your own QRP equipment, or sit in on one of the stations already there.  Although not required, if you want to bring some food or beverage, it’ll be greatly appreciated – I’ll have a crock-pot full of venison Chili.  Not a PCARS member??  Not a Problem!  Come on out and enjoy the day with us – its a great time to meet up with your ham friends or maybe make some new ones.“

I hope to see all of you there, 72&73, Tom, WB8LCD
