You can now use PayPal to join or renew your membership! You can now join or renew your membership in the Utah VHF Society using PayPal if you wish to pay for 2 or more years! While we have not completely set up our system to be as "user friendly" as we would like, if you have a PayPal account and have used PayPal before, you already know the drill on how to do it! For information about joining/renewing via PayPal, click here. If you join now - either via PayPal or by mail - we'll also mail you a copy of this year's UVHFS repeater guide/membership directory if you didn't get one at the swap meet! Where were you on the morning of February 25? The Utah VHF Society annual
swapmeet was held on the morning of
February 25, 2012, in the Zion Building at
the Utah State Fairgrounds, starting at 8
AM - The same place as last
year - and several years before that!
The turnout was quite good and there were a lot of people exchanging their valuable junque, several of the local clubs were selling books, and a lot of prizes were given out in the drawing. In case you were wondering, the past years' officers were re-elected as-constituted. See you next year! 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. If you are curious as to what is planned - and if you wish to find out what you can do to help, read about it here. |

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. If you wish to
pay via PayPal, click here

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. |

"Paper
repeater" recycling still in
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:
