Annual QCARC Christmas Extravaganza

The Quad County Amateur Radio Club will once again be having an annual Christmas Banquet.  The Banquet will once again be hosted by Harvey (N3RTK) and Janet (N3ZFX) Haag at their home at 4 Turnpike Avenue in Clearfield Pennsylvania.  For more information, see this special edition of the Parasetic Emission.  

Our group has regular monthly meetings at Clearfield County's 911 Center, which is located on Leonard Street behind the old county home. The meetings convene on the third Friday of each month, at 7:30pm. The club also sponsors a monthly breakfast which meets at Billy's Burgerland the second Saturday of each month at 9:30am. Hope to see you there! Local repeater status is available here, as well as maps showing the projected coverage areas for the following repeaters:
