About Chapter 212

The Mid-Ohio chapter is a new chapter of the QCWA.  Membership is open to any qualified amateur radio operator that is a member in good standing of the QCWA.  The Mid-Ohio Chapter 212 of the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA) was established in September 2003.  There have been several initial planning meetings by charter members of the chapter.  During this planning and organizational phase, amateur radio operators that were eligible to be QCWA members were invited to become charter members of the Mid-Ohio Chapter.  Charter membership was discontinued after the initial planning phase, or December 2003.. 


The first meeting of Chapter 212 was held on 9/22/03.  The following is the e-mail message describing the first meeting:
