Repeaters & IRLP in Clallam County


Many hams in the area frequently use repeaters to communicate with each other over wide areas using inexpensive mobile and handheld radio equipment, small antennas, and low power output.

While simplex radio communications has its advantages, using repeaters provides hams a single point to congregate on the air where everyone can hear each other regardless of location.

While normal, standalone repeaters range from local-area to region-wide coverage, linking repeater systems allow for ‘long-distance’ communications worldwide.
