Welcome to NEAR-900!
The New England Amateur Radio 900 MHz Network
NEAR-900 was founded in 2008 by GEMOTO
and several repeater owners. It is a growing network of linked
repeaters providing 900 MHz coverage throughout New England.
The IRLP New England Reflector 912
Channel 5 (9125) is the central linking hub of the network. You
can see which repeaters are currently connected by checking the 9125
channel on the IRLP Status Page.
Non-900 MHz IRLP nodes are welcome to connect briefly as guests, while
900 MHz nodes are encouraged to remain connected for extended
periods. For more information, see our full Policy on the reflector's web site.
The NEAR900 network is also available via Allstar node
W1ATD 60635
and EchoLink node W1ATD-L 249961 and the New England 900 MHz P25 Reflector 900 via
Pi-Star and
WPSD.
To
help promote the use of 900 MHz in New England, Thursdays are
designated as "900 MHz Thursdays". Get on your local 900 MHz
repeater and make at least one contact to participate! You can also find your closest 900 MHz repeater by checking the New England Repeater Directory's 33-centimeter band database.
We also have a mailing list via Google Groups
and a NEAR-900 Facebook group
for active hams of the NEAR-900 community. Topics include the
latest surplus radios for sale, local repeater changes, radio
programming and codeplugs, 900 day discussion and
more!
