We're an Informal Community Group

The North Central Ohio GMRS Group is a loose-knit community of GMRS enthusiasts in the Mansfield area. We don't have formal membership, officers, or a single point of contact - we're just local radio users who enjoy staying connected over the air.

Many of our members are also licensed HAM operators and participate in the local ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) group, bridging both the GMRS and HAM radio communities.

The Best Way to Connect

Join our weekly net! The Wednesday night net is where our community comes together. It's the perfect way to introduce yourself, ask questions, or just say hello. Newcomers are always welcome.
