The Cascades Amateur Radio Society (CARS); a group of amateur radio operators in Jackson County Michigan. The club has a long history of amateur radio activity in the Jackson area. We have been in existence in one form or another since the early 1930’s. CARS began when the existing 2 local clubs combined forces and formed a single non-profit (501c3) organization (CARS) and the rest is history.

We are proud to support other organizations in the Jackson area as needed and hope to expand our ability in the services that we can provide in the future.

CARS meets on the Third Tuesday of the month at the Jackson County Health Dept. 1715 Lansing Ave. Meetings start at 7 pm (19:00 Local) with our program for the evening followed by a short business meeting.
Anyone with an interest in Amateur Radio is encouraged to attend.

Club Dues for 2022/2023 are now due.

Our membership year runs from

June 1st thru May 31st.
