Welcome to the official web site of the Quad County Amateur Radio Club! The QCARC is located in the heart of Pennsylvania, is comprised of Clearfield, Cameron, Elk and Jefferson counties, and is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League ( ARRL). The club sponsors a two meter repeater, N3QC/R, which is on 147.315 megahertz with a 173.8 hertz PL tone. The repeater is located atop Rockton Mountain overlooking the borough of Clearfield at 2385 feet above sea level. There's a net on the repeater every Sunday evening at 7pm. For more information about the club, click here or for a membership application, click here.

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 Sid's Sub Shop the second Saturday of each month at 9:30am. Hope to see you there!
