Baldy Repeater Antenna
The WRARC is dedicated to using Amateur Radio to strengthen emergency communications in central Idaho as well as just having fun with our hobby.
All visitors to Sun Valley are inviited to use our repeater system and the open auto-patch system. Welcome aboard!
We encourage all Hams to monitor and use our repeaters while using the back country. We have coverage over most of the SNRA and actively monitor the repeaters for back country emergencies. The Blaine County Emergency Dispatch reconizes our auto-patch phone number and are prepared to respond to back country 911 calls that originate from our auto-patch. Ham radio is the only form of communications in much of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
Visit here often for club news and updates.

Here are the events for June 26th:
First, The Sawtooth century 100 mile bike ride from Ketchum to Alturas Lake and back. Two of our group are riding in this event. We need 4 to 6 volunteer’s for this event which we have done for the past two years
Second, the wildland fire exercise(Ketchum Fire) in Greenhorn Gulch where they need 2 to 4 to volunteer.
Third, the Dollar mountain 10K trail run where they need two to run communications from start to top of dollar mountain. This would be a line of sight(simplex) operation.
Many of you have taken my classes and here is the occasion where you can gain valuable communication experience and support our community we live in.
You will need a VHF (2 meter) handheld and all events will take the entire morning. I think we have several handhelds you can borrow if you do not have a radio yet.
We will have an early morning meeting on the 26th at the Rustic Moose in Ketchum for final details.
