The Beaches Amateur Radio Society (BARS) is an association of amateur radio operators living in and around the beaches of Jacksonville, FL. The beaches include Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach. 

We meet every month on the 4th Thursday evening of the month at the Pablo Creek branch of the Jacksonville library system. We also have a regular breakfast meeting on the first Saturday of each month. We meet at the Golden Corral on Beach Blvd., just west of San Pablo Road.

Our regular meetings include radio oriented discussions and some kind of educational program and are open to the public. If you want to learn more about amateur radio and becoming a “Ham”, please attend one of our meetings!
