Serving
the Local Communities with Reliability and Coverage
The systems owned and operated by SEWFARS are considered to be among the best in reliability and coverage. They exist for all types of appropriate/proper use by all appropriately licensed Amateur Radio Operators. This is possible as all systems being at a location highly suitable for wide range communications and a focus on sound engineering practice is used in system design.
SEWFARS
systems are used for a number of civic events, among them being:
the MACC
Trek 100 bike tour, a biking event normally held in June
the Great
Midwest Relay (GMR), a running event between Madison and Chicago in early June,
and
the MS 150
bike tour, a weekend-long biking even held in August.
SEWFARS systems are
also worked into operation plans as contingent resources for a number of public
service organizations and the agencies they support. Please see our history for details.
Historically,
the SEWFARS 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 repeaters 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 resources wisely. Additional user guidance is available on our Code of Conduct page, or feel free to contact us with any questions.
