The SEWFARS repeater systems are considered to be among the best in reliability and coverage and they exist for all types of appropriate/proper use by all appropriately licensed Amateur Radio Operators. This is made possible by dedicated member/owners, focus on sound engineering practice and a strategic location for the systems.
SEWFARS
repeater systems are used for a number of civic events, among them being:
the MC200
Relay, a running event between Madison and Chicago in early June, and
the MS150 bike tour, a weekend-long
biking even held in August.
SEWFARS repeater
systems are also worked into operation plans as primary and contingent
resources for a number of public service organizations and the agencies they
support. Please see our history for details.
Historically,
the SEWFARS repeater systems are not heavily used for day-to-day activities,
but the SEWFARS systems have demonstrated a reputation for being there when
needed and performing better than expected.
If you or your organization would like to use the SEWFARS voice repeater systems for an organized event, please contact us in advance so that we can plan accordingly. Otherwise we ask that all users be considerate of others and use the systems wisely. Additional user guidance is available on our Code of Conduct page, or feel free to contact us with any questions.
