Welcome to the Tri County Repeater Association Website!
The Tri County Repeater Association is located in Northwestern Wisconsin and has about 30 members. We are a very "laid back" group and will welcome anyone into our organization who has an interest in Amateur Radio.
Our activities include bi-monthly meetings, Field Day, Weekly Nets, Annual Christmas Party, and we also have an Annual picnic.
Our net is held Thursday nights at 8:00 P.M. on the 145.470 repeater. Everyone is welcome to join us.
We hope you enjoy our web site and welcome any comments you may have.
Next meeting is February 9th, 2012 at the Main Street Cafe in Bloomer.
