    The St. Maarten Amateur Radio club was chartered in 1978 as a non-profit

    foundation commensurate with the hilltop installation of the PJ7R repeater on

    146.76 MHz. The system coverage extends to St. Kitts and Montserrat. The

    club sponsor is Comm-Systems Ltd. of Cole Bay.

 

    A French repeater FS5ZMG is maintained on Pic Paradis.

 

    In September 1995 Hurricane Luis disrupted the Islands communication systems. Amateur

    radio operators at PJ7A in Philipsburg established contact with the outside world and

    relayed emergency reports to the Weather Bureau Hurricane Center, and the United Nations

    Center in N.Y.
