As much as possible, BCARS will host meetings in person, while also allowing for remote video conferencing. We are using the Jitsi video conferencing application. There is a link to our conference room below. Jitsi works best with Google Chrome. If connecting from a phone or tablet, install Jitsi App for either iPhone or Android.

BCARS has migrated to groups.io – sign  up at https://bcars.groups.io/ . This new setup hosts our calendar reminders, photos, and documents.

The Bedford County Amateur Radio Society was formed in 1959 in order to promote the use of amateur radio within the community and to support Bedford County with public and emergency communications.  Anyone with an interest in Amateur Radio is welcome to join us.  We meet on the first Thursday of each month at the Bedford American Legion Post 113, 3721 Business 220 Bedford Twp PA 15522. Meeting time is 7:30pm.

Throughout the years, BCARS has maintained a close relationship with Bedford County Emergency Operations, providing communications as needed in disaster situations, as well as assisting with communications at county events. As such, the club has maintained its presence with first the Court House, then the county 911 center, and ultimately moving with the 911 back into the renovated and expanded county court house.
