Our Mission
As a repeater association, the main point of our club is to keep the repeaters running, open for use by all licensed amateurs radio operators and ready for anything that we as club members need to use them for.

Why we do what we do?
It is really about our members and connecting as friends, providing support and helping each other out, whether it is radios, events, antennas, technology, all of the above, yes
