KBARA
THE KAMIAK BUTTE AMATEUR
REPEATER ASSOCIATION
 

   The KBARA system consists of several amateur radio repeaters that are linked together to cover an area from southeastern British Columbia to northeastern Oregon, and from western Montana to central Washington. The KBARA system can also be connected to the Evergreen Intertie, an interconnected group of repeaters located in the northwestern United States and western Canada.

   The primary purpose of the KBARA system is to function as a linked system that provides communications to and within the above area.  It makes possible a single system of mobile communications coverage extending beyond the limited range provided by any single repeater operation.

   FM repeaters operating in the VHF and UHF bands are linked by full duplex UHF radios.  The repeaters' frequencies and locations are as follows:

147.380 W7OE,  Mica Peak, east of Spokane, WA
147.360 KB7WTO,  Stensgar (Stranger) Mountain, north of Spokane, WA
147.280 AA7P, Pikes Peak, southeast of Walla Walla, WA
147.020 N7LVO, Lookout Pass, on the Idaho-Montana border
146.740 KB7ARA,  Kamiak Butte, near Colfax and Pullman, WA
145.010 WB7AUK Packet Node & BBS, Mica Peak, east of Spokane, WA
223.900 WA7YCP, Stensgar (Stranger) Mountain, north of Spokane, WA
