VHF Repeater on 146.97 (100.0 hz tone) - UHF repeater on 444.80
Node#: 394682 - Link: KE8IL-R
The Marquette Repeater Association is a nonsocial club that operates and maintains two
repeaters that are located in the city of Marquette,
Michigan. Marquette is located in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula on the southern shore of Lake
Superior in Marquette County, the largest county east of the Mississippi River.
We have two repeaters: 146.97 (VHF) and 444.80 (UHF). We have Echolink on the 146.97 repeater with the
node number 394682, and the link is KE8IL-R. Echolink is open for anyone to use. Additional
Echolink information can be viewed here. The Echolink is open to
the World. Feel free to use it.
Both repeaters are located near the ski hill on the south side of the city on a tower owned by the Gospel
Opportunities Network (WHWL - 95.7). The repeaters are open repeaters and are very active as we welcome
anyone to make use of them when in the area. The repeaters are used during emergencies and severe
weather. We also operate in conjunction with another club in Marquette County, which is the Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association.
The Marquette Repeater Association, along with the
Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association, provide communications to events throughout the year. Two popular
events include the U.P. 200 Sled Dog Race, which is a 3 day 200-mile
race through the central part of the Upper Peninsula. It's held annually in February. Also, there
is the Noquemanon Ski Marathon held in January; a 51K - 25K
cross-country ski race. In August, the clubs provide communications for the Ore To Shore Mountain Bike Epic, which uses the same course as the
ski race.
