Repeaters
Talk to the World on 224.26
DFMA’s 220 MHz repeater on the Hillsborough tower is linked through the AllStarLink system — a network of repeaters, remote base stations, and hot spots connected via Voice over IP. Excellent audio quality, and the ability to connect with hams across the nation and beyond.
How to use it
Leave a couple of seconds between transmitting and listening to allow the linking and digital systems time to sync up. The repeater auto-connects to linked nodes on a rotating schedule — check the table below to see what’s active when.

No 220 radio?
Newer Baofeng models cover this band at a very reasonable cost. Older Alinco, Yaesu, and other radios can also be found secondhand — and since our repeater is carrier squelch, they work fine even without a PL tone board.
