Repeaters

The WPI Wireless Association is proud to sponsor four repeaters that serve Worcester and many other surrounding communities. All three of the 144MHz machines and the 440MHz machine are currently in service and are designated as "open" to the local Amateur Community. The 2 meter machine at the airport is linkable with the machine in Templeton (see below for details). Feel free to use this feature.

The W1YK and W1WPI repeaters both have Echolink capabilities. For more information about Echolink, check out Echolink.org. We maintain the standard Echolink DTMF commands which are outlined here on both repeaters.

If anyone has any ideas for a new net, please contact the WPI Wireless Association via script .
