Repeaters & Frequencies
Two open repeater sites covering the Portland metro.
The Portland Amateur Radio Club maintains and operates two repeater sites: Larch Mountain, WA and Mount Scott, OR. PARC repeaters are open to the ham community.
PARC holds a 2M weekly net every Tuesday 7:00–7:30 PM on the Larch Mt. repeater. All stations are invited to check in with announcements or activities to share.
