More About Us and Our Repeaters

Contact us at blackriverarc@gmail.com.

The Black River Amateur Radio Club, founded in 1969, has been a long-standing part of the Van Buren County, Michigan community. We are an ARRL Affiliated Club. Our club has wide and varied interests including Field Day, contesting, and more. We also volunteer for and support community events.

Our two repeaters are located in Bangor, Michigan:
2 Meter on 147.360+ (147.960 Input), 94.8PL Up, 94.8PL Down, Analog FM
SKYWARN, AUXCOMM

70 Centimeter on 444.300+ (449.300 Input), 94.8PL Up, 94.8PL Down, Analog FM and Fusion
This repeater is in AMS mode and linked to West Michigan Connect via WIRES-X by default. Digital (C4FM) transmissions (local or via the link) will take priority over analog FM transmissions.

Join us each Sunday at 8:30pm for the K8BRC Sunday Evening Net on the 2 Meter repeater.
