If this will be your first time, if you haven't been for a while, all of the information that you need (and more!) may be found on this page: http://www.utahvhfs.org/fairpark_2010.htmlBring your Junque to sell, bring your wallet to buy, and mostly - bring yourself! 'Hope to see you there! Intermountain Intertie work projects John Lloyd, K7JL, has published a list of projects currently underway pertaining to the upgrading and maintenance of the Intermountain Intertie.

The Utah VHF Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 to promote and coordinate the installation and use of VHF/UHF amateur repeaters throughout Utah. The society also provides financial support for aligned repeaters and serves as the recognized Frequency Coordination entity for the state of Utah. The society, however, does not offer financial support for autopatches, as that is considered to be the responsibility of the autopatch users. With your dues, please mention your callsign (if you are licensed) and whether or not you would like to be placed on the roster for the VHF Society's weekly swap net, held on the 147.12(+) repeater (100.0 Hz tone) and carried on the Intermountain Intertie. Dues are $12
per year, or $20 per year for families.
Membership runs for the
calendar year,
so all members (except those who have paid for multiple years) will be
current through December 31 of the same year.

Thanks to all our members!!!! As your
president I would
like to take a moment to express my
appreciation to all those who are members of the Society. We have
experienced many issues this year that have required us to spend a
great deal of funds to assist with a number of repeater site repairs,
upgrades, and to build new sites. Without your support none of
this
would have been possible, thanks for your dues and continued
membership. In addition we appreciate your membership as we have
grown
to the point now where we have become the largest Amateur Radio
Organization in the State of Utah. Thanks again and please
continue to
invite and encourage your fellow hams to become part of the Utah VHF
Society.

progress:
As you probably know, the bands are becoming increasingly crowded while the demand for frequencies for repeaters is also increasing. It is for this reason that more strict observance of various aspect of repeater coordination will occur, such as:
