	MidCars 7.258

      This is MidCars, the Midwest Amateur Radio Service. We're here every day of the year from about 8:30 AM Eastern Time until 2:00 PM or later as conditions permit. We provide a controlled frequency environment where mobile and fixed stations can meet and move to another frequency if they wish to carry on a longer QSO. We always give first priority to mobiles, however all stations are welcome.
   MidCars provides road and weather information if conditions warrant, and when traffic allows, we gladly provide signal and audio reports, comparisons of antennas and amplifiers and anything else we can do to assist amateurs in operating properly."
   "You need not have traffic to check in, just give your call when I ask for check ins. We want to hear from everyone as that gives us an idea of propagation within our service area."
   "If you hear someone on frequency and wish to contact him, say "contact" and we'll hook you up. Otherwise, simply check in."

We appreciate these Service Control Operators who give up an hour or more each week for MidCars:

A Brief History of MidCars

MidCars began informally in 1968. It was later incorporated and structured as

a directed service in 1969 with designated Service Control Operators (SCOs). Toward the late 1970s the structured operation became more and more informal and it began to function on a totally voluntary basis. During the 1980s, through a slow progression of events which included a lack of volunteers, a lack of attention to weaker mobile signals, poor operating habits, bad examples and misinformation to new people. MIDCARS began to lose its effectiveness and basically strayed away from its prime and intended purpose. MIDCARS was reorganized in 1991 and since then the Service continues to invite all of our amateur friends, both old and new, to actively participate and enjoy a more organized service while providing the resources for a proper response to any future emergency situation or call for assistance.
