The repeater system is located in New Jersey east of Philadelphia, PA, in Winslow, Camden County. The repeater covers Camden County, the western and central portions of Burlington County, the western end of Atlantic County, Gloucester County, and Philadelphia. The coverage includes most of the Delaware Valley region.

Operating Guidelines

The repeater is open to all licensed radio amateurs. Common sense and courtesy is the only reasonable request in using our repeater. Please do not be "quick on the trigger" in replying. Listen for and acknowledge those who may drop their call into a conversation. Use your good judgement, but we suggest you do not necessarily let that person calling in wait 3 or 5 minutes for a "turn." That weaker signal you hear may be a radio amateur in trouble...

Repeater News

The repeater equipment was upgraded over the first weekend of April 2008. Comments on coverage, including comparisons before and after the change are welcome. Please e-mail Mark. (2008-04-08)

A weekly net for all those interested in chasing DX airs Sundays at 8 PM (2000) Eastern (suspended during summer months). Actually, the subjects vary. Do you want to discuss the latest equipment or ask questions on what antenna works the best? HF may be the emphasis, but there is world-wide DX on 50 MHz — a band open to Technician licensees — and the finer points of VHF and UHF DXing, equipment and antennas are included. And there is news about this repeater and future plans. Spread the word. Tell your friends. Be there! If you are out of range of the repeater to be heard well, you might be able to listen. Have a suggestion or question for a topic? Join the net or e-mail K2AX (link below) before 7 PM. If you have not yet linked to the RSS news feed (below), do so to stay tuned to this net's evolution.

After two decades, in July 2006 the JTRA's 2 meter system moved from Tabernacle, and the call changed to K2AX.

Weather

Severe weather can affect repeater operations. Lightning produced by summer thunderstorm wreak havoc on radio systems across the radio amateur community. Be aware.
