Club Repeaters

A repeater is a radio station — usually placed high up — that receives a signal on one frequency and instantly re-transmits it on another, letting handheld and mobile radios talk much farther across the city. Skywide operates VE3SKY, our primary club repeater. VE3SKI, a secondary repeater, is listed below for reference but is not currently operational.

VE3SKY carries our club nets — see All Nets and the Skynet Club Net. If the repeater seems off the air, please let us know through the Contact page.
