Milledgeville Amateur Radio Club

04/16/2024

Join us for our monthly meeting on April 20th at 10:30am at Bonjangles in MIlledgeville (1858 N. Columbia St.).

Amon other topics of interest, we will talk about possible events for the rest of the year. We look forward to seeing you there!

Here is a reminder about our next Milledgeville Amateur Radio Club Meeting:

Date: Saturday, March 16, 2024
Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Bojangles, 1858 N Columbia St, Milledgeville, GA 31061

Join us to eat and visit with each other. This will be a BYOB (Buy Your Own Breakfast) Event. All those interested in amateur radio are welcome. There will only be about 5 minutes of business, so all should have a great time just hanging out together. It is my understanding that a local classic car group also meets in the parking lot next door, so you might be able to see some old cars as well; the best time to see the cars should be just before the meeting, so come a little early!

Thanks,
Rick Morris
Club VP

Meeting announcement from our fearless leader:

Hi Everyone,

This is just a reminder about the January Milledgeville ARC Meeting.

We will be meeting at Bojangles again this month and again we are meeting at 10:30.

Date: Saturday, January 20, 2024

Time: 10:30 AM

Location: Bojangles, 1858 N Columbia St, Milledgeville, GA 31061

Join us to eat and visit with each other. This will be a BYOB (Buy Your Own Breakfast) Event. There will only be about 5 minutes of business, so all should have a great time just hanging out together. It is my understanding that a local classic car group also meets in the parking lot next door, so you might be able to see some old cars as well. I suggest that you come early if you want to see the cars.

Note: Although the club has traditionally met at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, we are trying some other locations and times, so check your email for any future changes. You may also check the current club website (https://w4pcf.wordpress.com/) for up-to-date information.

Hope to CU there!
