PCARS is an ARRL Affiliated, Special Services Club. We are a group of Amateur Radio hobbyists located in Portage County, Ohio who believe that the whole point of being in the hobby of Amateur Radio is to have fun with it. Whether you are a new ham or an “old timer”, PCARS has something to offer you. The PCARS monthly meeting is held the second Monday of each month and the meetings start at 7:00 PM. We meet at The American Legion Post 496 – 1945 Mogadore Rd, in Kent. Click for more info!!

It’s on! C’mon out!
We’ll open up around 6:30. Bring some snacks and spare change, we’ll put it all together and order a pizza (if y’all want to).
Check into the PCARS net from the clubsite, check in from your home station. If you’re out of town for the long weekend, check in via Echolink!
Lots of you are doing really good on the 20 for 20 Net Challenge – don’t drop the ball now – hang in there and get it done!

Greetings de Computerless W8PT.
Due to technical difficulties, I was not able to attend the monthly meeting. So please accept this as my monthly report.
Our next SIG will be on Aug 26th at 7PM at our HQ. Prior to that we will be putting K8BF on the air for the Ohio QSO Party on Aug. 23-24. This contest starts at noon on the 23rd, so it would be best to be present by 11AM so we can review the rules.
Don’t forget that this is our open house and BBQ.
Other things going on:
NA QSOP SSB AUG 16-17. Yes…this weekend.
US Island QSOP. Aug 30-31
Colorado QSOP. Aug 30-31
