W7AVM Repeater System Status:

10 June 2026: UHF link between north and south repeaters is currently disabled while the repeater team diagnoses issues
10 June 2026: The north repeater is now in auto mode so it will track C4FM or analog FM automatically. Analog FM users should enable tone squelch (114.8 Hz) to avoid listening to data associated with digital voice calls
10 June 2026: Field day registration link was set in email today, please contact n7bcp@w7avm.org if you did not receive the registration link
