Repeater Roundabout - November 23rd and 24th
Hi Tri-Cities Amateur Radio Club!
I'm reaching out to see if you’d like to include your club’s repeater in the Repeater Roundabout on November 23rd and 24th and join the fun with us!
For the last two years, the Repeater Roundabout has provided a fun, friendly contest over FM repeaters in Western Washington. Last year, we made it into July’s edition of QST Magazine, and more importantly, made a ton of noise on the airwaves, with hundreds of participants and thousands of contacts across over 120 repeaters from 54 amateur radio clubs in the Puget Sound area. This year, we're hoping to go even bigger.
What's the Repeater Roundabout?
- The RR is a fun and friendly contest over FM repeaters, taking place in the last full weekend of November. It’s great for both hams new to contesting, and for experienced operators.
- The goal is for hams to make as many contacts as possible with new people, on new machines, in order to introduce them to their local repeaters and clubs. The Repeater Roundabout brought a lot of attention to repeaters all over the area.
- We provide files to program your radios, a list and a map of all participating repeaters, a Discord chat for live skeds and help, and an automatic scoring system. Everything is on the Repeater Roundabout website.
What happens now?
- Let me know if you'd be willing for us to list your repeaters this year! Please reply to this post to let me know.
- Either way, feel free to join the fun on November 23rd and 24th on any repeaters in your area listed on our site.
- Join our Discord server for live conversation. Club representatives have a special channel too.
Thanks, and 73,
Matt - KI6KTE
