The General meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Clyde Municipal Building, 222 North Main Street, Clyde (corner of Main and Duane streets).

Enter the lot through the Duane St. entrance -- Enter the building from the rear entrance, and either take the stairs or elevator to the basement community room. There is plenty of parking in the lot, and all facilities are handicapped accessible.

Many of the members of the Clyde Amateur Radio Society meet to discuss club activities and other ham-related issues on the weekly CARS Net. Look for us on the Club's repeater system on 145.35 MHz every Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. local time!

If you've never acted as a Net Control Station, this is an ideal way to improve your on-air operating skills. Plus, it's great practice and a lot of fun. Our Net Manager, Mark Durnwald, KA8FZS, can tell you more about it.
