The Oakland County Amateur Radio Society (OCARS) was founded in 1937. See History Tab above for an interesting slide presentation prepared by Joe Miller (KJ8O), former president. It may interest you to know that the club’s callsign W8TNO once belonged to one of our founding members, Leon See.
OCARS holds meetings on the first Tuesday of every month, beginning at 7:30 pm. You do not need to be a member to attend our meetings. Everyone is welcome.
When face-to-face meetings are possible, we meet at Bethany Church, 1375 Hiller Rd., Waterford (between Cooley Lake & Commerce Roads.) doors open at 7:00. When face-to-face meetings are not possible, we meet on Zoom. Members can check their email for notices of such Zoom meetings, along with login instructions.
