Now a 501c3 organization, we are an ARRL affiliated club located in Norfolk,Nebraska Serving the Northeast Nebraska area we operate two voice repeaters. Our two meter repeater operates on 146.73- (callsign W0OFK) and is located on a 400 Ft tower east of town. It is a Yaesu Fusion repeater capable of analog and digital (C4FM) voice. It is operated normally in FM mode and is connected to the internet via Wires-X system. It is normally connected to the Nebraska-Hub, room 21659. We also have a 70 cm repeater that operates on 444.250+ (callsign W0OFK). The UHF repeater is also connected to the Wires-X system and operates normally in digital mode. It is connected to room 83156. An APRS Digipeater is on the air under the call of W0OFK-4. We are involved with multiple aspects of Amateur Radio, providing classes, sponsor test sessions, have operating events throughout the year, provide training to the Boy Scouts, and support the local community with communications as needed. Weekly nets on the 146.73- repeater are every Monday night at 7:30 pm local time and every Thursday night (7:30PM) on our 70cm repeater. Please feel free to check in.
