Club Repeaters
The Western Illinois ARC established its first 2 Meter FM repeater in early 1969 making this club among the first in the nation to operate such a device on an amateur VHF frequency. The early history of the WIARC repeaters is detailed in a short article that may be viewed by clicking on the Early WIARC Repeaters link below. Thanks to Andy, N9XEO and Glenn Glessner, K9JJD for this information. Glenn was one of the local hams involved in the club in that era.
All repeaters are located on the north side of Quincy IL
