PDARS

The club meets every Tuesday and Thursday at the Carleton Centre. (See how to find us, here.)

On Tuesdays the constructors meet from 19h00 until about 21h00. The Tuesday evening sessions are usually practical with at least one homebrew construction project each month, mixed with talks on practical issues and opportunities to use radios, test equipment and other gear.

The Thursday evening sessions are more social occasions and we get together from about 19h30 onwards.
