Supporting the Idaho portion of the Intermountain Intertie

After much discussion, the Utah VHF Society Officers have agreed to begin an initial effort to ask the Idaho hams who would like to support the Idaho portion of the Intertie System to join the Utah VHF Society.

Any funds obtained through this effort or any donations we obtain from Idaho hams will be dedicated to Idaho Intertie System repeaters. Enough funds were raised via recent efforts to address some crucial needs, such as the purchase of new batteries for the Sawtell (West Yellowstone) repeater site and upgrade and maintenance for other projects. As more funds become available additional improvements will be made to the Idaho system.

If you want to help with this effort you may do so through the Utah VHF Society (contact information is here). Any funds obtained through this effort or any donations we obtain from Idaho hams will be dedicated to Idaho Intertie System repeaters. Please mark your membership and or donations for Idaho.

See our new Tips for New Hams page, with a bunch of info useful to new hams (and Mel says useful for longtime hams like himself too! 🙂 )

The Annual Utah VHF Society Swap Meet will be held on Saturday 29 March 2025 at the Legacy Events Center in Farmington where we have held it every year. Due to scheduling we have had to permanently change the date of the Swap meet to the last Saturday of March every year from now on, this change will permit us to keep the same location without a price increase to use the facility. Please put March 29th on your calendar.

We will have polo shirts with our new VHF Society Logo on them for sale for $30.00 each. You can order a customized one at the swap meet with your call and the size and color you would prefer. Also, we will be taking orders for 3D Printed Call Signs $5.00 each any color you desire and we have 3D Printed call sign Plaques, 4" x 8" for $10.
