For information about joining/renewing via PayPal, click here. If you join now - either via PayPal or by mail - we'll also mail you a copy of this year's UVHFS repeater guide/membership directory if you didn't get one at the swap meet! Where will you be on the morning of February 25? The Utah VHF
Society annual swapmeet is scheduled for
February 25, 2012,
in the Zion Building at the Utah State
Fairgrounds with the doors opening at 8
AM.
This is the same place as last year - and several years before that! For more information about the when and where of the 2012 Utah VHF Society Swapmeet, go to the 2012 Swapmeet page. See you there! Intermountain Intertie work projects John Lloyd, K7JL, has published a list of projects currently underway pertaining to the upgrading and maintenance of the Intermountain Intertie.

The Utah VHF Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 to promote and coordinate the installation and use of VHF/UHF amateur repeaters throughout Utah. The society also provides financial support for aligned repeaters and serves as the recognized Frequency Coordination entity for the state of Utah. The society, however, does not offer financial support for autopatches, as that is considered to be the responsibility of the autopatch users. With your dues, please mention your callsign (if you are licensed) and whether or not you would like to be placed on the roster for the VHF Society's weekly swap net, held on the 147.12(+) repeater (100.0 Hz tone) and carried on the Intermountain Intertie. Dues
are $12
per
year, or $20 per year for families.
Membership runs for the
calendar year,
so all members (except those who have paid for
multiple years) will be
current through December 31 of the same
year. If you wish to
pay via PayPal, click here
more information.

Thanks to all our members!!!! As
your
president I would
like to take a moment to express my
appreciation to all those who are members of the
Society. We have
experienced many issues this year that have
required us to spend a
great deal of funds to assist with a number of
repeater site repairs,
upgrades, and to build new sites. Without
your support none of
this
would have been possible, thanks for your
dues and continued
membership. In addition we appreciate your
membership as we have
grown
to the point now where we have become the
largest Amateur Radio
Organization in the State of Utah. Thanks
again and please
continue to
invite and encourage your fellow hams to become
part of the Utah VHF
Society.

"Paper
repeater" recycling still in
progress:
As you probably know, the bands are becoming increasingly crowded while the demand for frequencies for repeaters is also increasing. It is for this reason that more strict observance of various aspect of repeater coordination will occur, such as:
