Get on the Air

With the Sunshine Net

Join us every morning at 8:30 am for the Sunshine Net.  This very popular net receives check-ins from across southwest and west-central Florida and is one of the oldest nets still operating in Florida. 

You can find us on the WX4E repeater system, which is located in Punta Gorda, Florida, and is hosted by the Charlotte Amateur Radio Society.  This linked pair of repeaters operate on 146.745 (-) and 444.975 (+), both with a PL tone of 136.50.

Get Together

Come to Club Meetings

Currently, we have suspended our face-to-face meetings until our facility reopens. We are holding our club meetings “On-the-Air”. Join us on the WX4E repeater system on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm. Hopefully, we can resume our club meetings in August.

Join CARS-FL@groups.io

Summer Field Day was a blast. Be sure to add the Charlotte Amateur Radio Society, Inc. as your club when you submit your log to the ARRL. We will get to combine our contacts for more club recognition. And check out the great photos on our groups.io site – there are over 85 pictures posted by our members. See the photos here.
