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.
Field Day is June 28th - 29th at W9MM's residence near Cadott. Check the Field Day page for more information.
