The Kokomo Repeater Club has 100+ amateur radio operators and its primary purpose is to maintain the four repeaters in the Kokomo / Howard County area. The repeaters are used to provide communication for licensed amateur radio operators. An amateur radio operator can use his hand-held low power transceiver or his home base transceiver to make contact with one of our repeaters. The repeater rebroadcasts his signal so that it can be received over a much larger area than he would be able to reach with his own equipment. This is possible due to the repeater having an antenna at a great height (200 to 400 ft) and a power level of 45 to 60 watts. An amateur radio license issued by the Federal Communication Commission is required to use the repeaters. Radio amateurs �hams� use the repeaters for inter �ham� and emergency communications. Several hams support the Emergency Management Agency during tornados, snow/ice storms, etc.
The repeater frequencies are: 146.310/.910, 147.240/.840, 147.375/975, and 442.300/7.300 |
