The Western Lake County Amateur Radio Society (WeLCARS) is an amateur radio club based in Fox Lake, Illinois, dedicated to the advancement of amateur radio through experimentation, education, and public service.

WeLCARS is a "general interest" amateur radio club that has members interested in nearly all aspects of the hobby, from HF to VHF, public service, rag chewing, contesting, to building their own antennas and equipment. The club meets nearly every Friday at 7PM at the Fox Lake Community Center (23 South St., Fox Lake), also nicknamed the "WeLCARS Worldwide Headquarters."

Membership is free and open to anyone. If you're interested, we hope to see you at a meeting or drop us a line at info@welcars.org.
