UARC - Utah Amateur Radio Club

A couple of the Utah Amateur Radio Club's claims to fame include being the oldest and largest amateur radio club in the state of Utah. It holds the call W7SP, a memorial call for Leonard (Zim) Zimmerman, early UARC member and radio pioneer. They also have a fun name for their monthly newsletter, The Microvolt, and a Ham hotline (local call, not a 900 number. ;) ) Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month, except for July and August. Meeting topics include many amateur-related items such as DX, satellites, Amateur Television, antennas, and contests. UARC operates three repeaters. On the 9000-foot Farnsworth Peak site (location of the KSL Channel 5 television transmitter) are the 146.62 and 449.10 MHz repeaters. Lake Mountain, west of Utah Lake, at 7600 feet, is home to the 146.76 MHz repeater. The 146.76 repeater is node 3352 in the Internet Repeater Linking Project (IRLP). Each Sunday Night at 9:00PM UARC holds an Information Net on the club's 146.62 Mhz repeater. The net includes announcements of UARC activities, Newsline, ARRL Bulletins, a listing of other clubs and nets, and a roundtable where people with questions or problems can seek out those with answers. They must have some well cooled transmitters/amplifiers in their repeater. Some quick-links into their site:
