Have a great summer!

  • 6/23/2009: The Quincy 224.40 repeater has been disabled until further notice. It is receiving interference which is then being relayed into the entire network, causing disruption of various nets and activities.

  • 6/20/2009: MMRA welcomes KA1RCI as the newest affiliate repeater to the MMRA network. RCI operates 145.19, 223.96, and 449.325 in Johnston, RI (JHN) and is linkable to HUB1 only. JHN will be linked for the Rhode Island and Eastern Mass 2m Traffic net on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM. See our repeater page for more info!

  • 6/17/2009: The Weston 224.70 repeater is back to operating at full power.

  • 6/13/2009: Thanks to the work of W1BRI with re-install assistance from K1JWB, WA1NVC and NE1R, 449.925 has been repaired and is functioning normally. The crew took the opportunity to also replace the backup battery and cleaned up the vegetation that was trying to overtake the shelter.

    Join us on our "Technical Information and Other Stuff (TIOS)" net, on the MMRA network, every Tuesday at 8PM. We are looking NET CONTROL STATIONS for our Tuesday night nets. A time commitment of about 1/2 hour per month is needed to be an NCS! Contact Larry, W1DYJ, for more information.
