Waltham ARA maintains five repeaters, all located on Prospect Hill in Waltham, MA.  Our repeaters are open for use by all radio amateurs.  On certain dates, one or more of our repeaters may be reserved exclusively for use by a public service event.

* The  146.64 repeater is both analog (FM) and digital (Apco P25). FM users can use 136.5 Hz Tone Squelch to mute digital carrier "noise". P25 users should select NAC 293.

**EchoLink® is available on our 146.64 MHz repeater. Connect to us via W1MHL-R, Node 490278.  To make outgoing connections over the air, touch-tone 64 and the Node number to connect, # to disconnect.  For more information about EchoLink, and to download the free software:  http://www.echolink.org.  A new EchoLink computer, donated by KB1KTT, was installed on 12/15/09, will hopefully make the system more reliable than in recent months.

Important Notice for 2M Repeater Users:
Users of the 146.64 machine, including public service events, are secondary to any RACES emergency use. If RACES is activated, please move to another machine as soon as practical. RACES has priority.  

NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE UNIDENTIFIED TRANSMISSIONS

Simple? Yes, but it's often harder than you might think. It means that you do not say anything over the air that acknowledges that transmission.

·         Do not say "Did you hear that?"

·         Do not say "I couldn't hear you because someone was throwing a carrier"

·         Do not complain about it.

·         Do not say ANYTHING that would tell the person that he is making it into the repeater.
