Wisconsin Association of Repeaters

Wisconsin Association of Repeaters is happy to release this 2019 update to our radio band plan. We have updated our guidance to include narrowband channels to use with modern equipment, depreciating the use of 420-430Mhz ATV in favor of additional link channels, reminders of our northern latitude “A-line” restrictions near the Canadian border and general guidance for low-power, neighborhood “hot-spots” used for new digital modes.

We welcome comments and suggestions to make our band plan better for everyone to use and continue working with adjacent states to have a clear cohesive plan for our ham radio hobby’s best interests. Pertinent information is called out in this guide with color-coding.

You can find the updated band plan at the top of the page under Governing Documents.

Hello everyone.  We just mailed out the second notice for the annual renewal forms.  We ask that when you get them to sign and return as soon as possible.  If you have minor updates, like mailing or email address changes, you can enter those changes as part of the annual renewal.  If you have changes to your repeater system (power, antenna, location, HoC, etc), then new C and S forms will need to be filled out with those changes, and those will be handled separately.

Annual renewals that are not returned will be processed for de-coordination.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.  

Until next time,

The end of January is almost here and Jack Frost has greeted us with chilly week, but unlike many of the business that are closed, WAR is not. Below is a list of the latest round of repeater coordinations.

Callsign	Location	Frequency	CTCSS	Notes
W9RIC	Appleton, WI	224.500	100.0	Analog
N9PAY	Green Bay, WI	443.50625		DMR
N9PAY	Milwaukee, WI	444.53125		DMR
KB9QJN	Irma, WI	146.640	114.8	Analog & P25

Coordination of these repeaters doesn’t mean they are necessarily on the air yet, but have been coordinated to use these frequencies when ready.
