When we meet
Social night
Every Wednesday, 7:00 PM, except the week of the business meeting.
Very informal. Mostly we sit around and talk or work on a project. Guests are welcome to use any of the radios. It runs until whenever we feel like leaving.
Business meeting
Third Wednesday of the month, 7:00 PM.
As a non-profit we hold one formal meeting a month, followed by snacks. Open to the public. If you want to join the club, you need to attend three business meetings in six months.
Someone is at the clubhouse from about 7 PM on Wednesdays. If you get lost on the way, call 412-787-0777 or give us a shout on the 2 meter repeater, 147.030 MHz, PL 123.0.

Turn-by-turn from the Parkway West
The clubhouse is a little tricky to find the first time. GPS will get you to the neighborhood; these photos cover the last few turns. Click any picture to enlarge it.
Eastbound on the Parkway (I-376)
- Take the Ridge Road exit. At the end of the ramp turn right onto Ridge Road and get into the left lane for the stop light.
- At the light stay left and continue on Ridge Road through the Settlers Ridge county park.
- Coming out of the park you reach a four-way stop. Turn right onto Cowan Road.
Westbound on the Parkway (I-376)
- Take the Campbells Run Road exit. At the end of the ramp turn left onto Campbells Run Road and go a short distance to the stop sign.
- At the stop sign turn left onto Boyce Road and go under the Parkway. Where the road bears right, continue straight up the hill on Boyce.
- At the top of the hill go straight through the four-way stop. You are now on Cowan Road.
The last mile (both directions)
- A short way along Cowan Road you reach a Y. Bear left onto McMichael Road.
- McMichael bears right. Ignore the two small roads on your left and look for the blue street sign and the concrete driveway going up the hill, with a 4×4 post marked 208 beside it. From the back way the sign is mostly hidden by shrubs and shows only "208".
- Go straight up the concrete driveway. It gets rough near the top, so slow down. The drive turns right past the cell site and the clubhouse is in front of you. Welcome.
Alternate routes
Use these when the Parkway is backed up or Campbells Run Road is closed by flooding, which happens after heavy rain.

I-79 South to the Carnegie exit. Turn right (west) onto Noblestown Road. In Rennerdale turn right onto McMichael Road and look for the back of the blue sign.
