| The Western Washington Repeater Association (WWRA) manages a few amateur radio repeaters which include an APRS Digipeater (144.390MHz) with accompanying weather station, a UHF (442.650MHz t103.5Hz) voice repeater with a temporary ECHOLINK connection operated by a volunteer and the main voice repeater VHF (146.620MHz t103.5Hz). Both voice repeaters have local and long distance telephone AUTOPATCH for supporting members. Supporting members can also access local voice weather reporting of conditions at Gold Mountain. All repeaters are situated on Gold Mountain seven miles West of Bremerton, Washington. Bremerton is located west of Seattle across Puget Sound. The VHF has especially good repeater has optimum coverage from Vancouver, B.C. to Vancouver, WA throughout Puget Sound and most of western Washington along the I-5 corridor. The purpose of this web page is to inform the public, association members and amateurs in general about our group and its activities.
Since the WWRA is a wide area repeater we are an association rather than a club. We keep our widely dispersed Members informed by occasional email bulletins and this web page. We have one general membership meeting a year in January. The Board of Directors has one meeting a year and can be contacted on the air, via email and U.S. Mail. The Operations Committee accomplishes all technical work on the repeaters and makes several trips annually to Gold Mountain. The Board and Committee are the management team who are elected at the annual meeting. All equipment is membership owned. The VHF repeater has been operating for over 30 years. Learn about all the operations work by clicking on the Ops TASKS button on this page. Ops Tasks is technical log updated frequently providing and insight into what is going on to enhance your communications hobby. The Ops Committee is always looking for a few good technically interested persons.
