Club Meetings & Net Information Page

Club Meetings

The Massillon Amateur Radio Club meets on the first Friday of every month at the Massillon Senior Citizens Center located at 39 Lincoln Way West in downtown Massillon at 8:00 PM. Club meetings are open to all visitors and you are welcome to attend. We conduct a short business meeting followed by a break and if we're lucky a dynamite program!

The Senior Citizens Center is located in downtown Massillon directly North of the Hampton Inn Hotel. Take State Route 21 North or South to Massillon. Exit at the State Route 172 (Lincoln Way Exit). Turn right onto Lincoln Way heading East for about 1/8th of a mile. The Senior Citizens Center is on your right. Parking is available either in the Senior Center parking lot or in the shopping plaza just West of the Senior Center. Doors are usually open by 7:30 PM. Just come on in !

 

We usually listen to the club's 147.18 + Repeater prior to meetings if you need additional assistance or directions.


West Stark Information Net
