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!!

Hi everyone!
We have a new Special Interest Group at PCARS! “Linux & Raspberry Pi SIG” will be on every even month first Tuesday, so the first meeting will be Tuesday, June 3, 2025. This is the spot that was on the HF WAS & DX Nets SIG (now inactive).
We will focus on ham-related Raspberry Pi and Linux laptop installation, but any topic is open discussion. Line up your questions and ideas!
A few of us in the club have spare Raspberry Pi’s. We will have one for you if needed.
More information will be coming before the first meeting.

The frequency will be 14.092 +/- QRM or existing nets/QSO’s. Set the cursor center frequency on the waterfall to 1,500 Hz. If there are any updates I will provide them the morning of May 14th via QST email. I hope to see you there.
