Repeater Information

COVID-19 Nets

York Region Amateur Radio Club defined a set of frequencies primarily for use by Public Service and Emcomm.

The list tried to define a mix of repeaters and simplex frequencies which were called channels (or memories) and people could just say let's meet on Channel 3 or memory 3, rather than having to say 145.350MHz, 103.5Hz, -600KHz shift.

Below is the list in PDF format (3 files) and .xls format with 3 tabs.

Please note: A team has been formed to review these lists based on repeaters being removed from service and new repeaters with digital technology being put in place.
