Repeaters

WARA currently operates one analogue repeater, callsign J73W, and two cross-band repeaters. The repeater serves the greater metropolitan area of Roseau. One cross-band repeater serves the northwest part of the island including the second town of Portsmouth. The other serves the south of the island. Both cross-band repeaters are linked to the main repeater J73W.

Our repeater system can be accessed via Echolink (J73W) and IRLP (node 7371).
