about this blog:

Managing repeater and NET frequencies was a tough problem for me. So I started to keep my notes on frequencies, NET's and Club and Hamfest information here. Over time we have added all kinds of information of interest to Upstate NY Radio enthusiasts. I will also try to update old posts with confirmations and updates as I get new information .I have a broad range of interests and love to share much of the cool stuff I stumble across.


We will try to post information for Upstate New York from Albany west to Buffalo and from Binghamton north through the 1000 Islands and Adirondacks. You may notice more news from Central and Northern NY (because that's where I live and recreate.....), but we will try to cover as much of the Upstate New York Region as possible.
