Meetings are the first Saturday of most months at 11:30 AM in Fast Eddie’s Diner located at 31st Avenue and Bell Road on the North side. Notification of changes in schedule are done through the azqrp@groups.io mailing list. General exceptions are local hamfests and FYBO. Meetings are usually rescheduled to match local hamfests such as Superstition, Scottsdale, DeVry, and Thunderbird. This is a convenience for our out of town members who can combine trips to Phoenix. Show and Tell for your latest projects are always in order. We have members that drive from as far as Tucson, Cottonwood, and Green Valley to attend. No officers. No dues. Show up and you’re a member. Let us know when you are coming to town and we’ll do our best to have a meeting just for YOU!
