Ham operators and non-operators, please come join CMSARA (Central
Mississippi Amateur Radio Association) at the Pearl Park and Recreation
facility in Pearl, MS. The entrance to the park is located at HWY 80 and
Center City Drive, on the east side of Pearl. Follow Center City Drive
in the South direction to the Pirate Park Walking Trail at the corner of
Center City Drive and Legion Lake Road. Set up area will be at the
parking lot for the walking trails.

This is a wide open area with plenty of parking and sunshine, but
limited access to trees. Good opportunity to practice set up without
benefit of tall trees.

Bring your portable ham radio setup including batteries, radios, tuners,
antennas, etc. that you can use to set up your portable operations
station or just show up and we will get you on the air via HF/VHF/UHF.
You can bring a chair to sit on if desired. I did not see any bathroom
facilities but there may be some. Be aware there may be other
activities going on in the park so respect their space. Invite them over
to play ham radio with us.

The purpose of this outing is to have fun, fellowship with others and
make contacts. Looking forward to seeing y’all there on February 21,
2026 at approximately 9 AM. I will be there early, hopefully.
