General Meeting Information

The St. Louis QRP Society meets on the third Wednesday of each month at various locations that will be announced on this web site. Anyone with an interest in QRP, homebrewing or kit building, or just having fun with ham radio is welcome to join us.

In 2025 we began holding our warm-weather meetings at Bridgeway Park in Bridgeton, Missouri (Google Map link). The park has been the site of our Field Day operation, so it’s handy to meet there to plan and prepare. It’s worked out great!

Meetings during colder months (October-April) will be at St. Charles City-County Library Spencer Road Branch. Some of us gather before the meeting at the McDonald’s on the corner of Mexico Road and Spencer Road around 5:00 PM. See Apple/Google map links below for location of the library and McDonald’s.

There are some special events planned on some months and exceptions to our normal meeting locations and times:

  • May: our Annual Picnic and Field Day Planning meeting at Bridgeway Park
  • June: Final Field Day Planning meeting at Bridgeway Park
  • September: Annual Tailgate Swap at Creve Coeur Lake Park
  • November: Annual Holiday and Club Anniversary Dinner Meeting, held at a local restaurant. The location changes from year to year, so please watch this page for location and time.
Questions about the club or about meeting location? Please
