Repeaters in and around the Ashland Area

What is a repeater?

In amateur radio, an electronic device that receives a weak or low-level amateur radio signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, so that the signal can cover longer distances without degradation. Often times these repeaters are centrally located within an area to provide quality communications.
