System Overview
BeachNet
is a network of
linked Amateur radio repeaters in southwest Washington. Anything transmitted over any of our
repeaters is also heard on all of the other stations in the system. With all the repeaters
linked together, they operate as if they were one machine, allowing us to completely cover
the southern coastal counties of Washington State, an impossible task from any one site.
For special events or local emergencies, the network can be fragmented or reconfigured to
tailor our coverage as necessary.
BeachNet
works closely with
Pacific County Emergency Management Agency and Grays Harbor Department of Emergency Management
to provide emergency communications support in the public interest.
