Note:  This "raw" data file contains all information that is considered to be public.  This not only refers to repeater information, but Simplex frequencies, Remote bases, Link, Control, and a few other uses.  It does not contain information such as link frequencies, control frequencies, and other frequencies that, at the request of the trustee, is to be kept confidential.  Owing to the critical nature of some of the uses of these frequencies, they are not listed here.

Remember:  Just because a frequency is not listed, that does not mean that it is not used!  If you see an entry that is incorrect or that you do (or do not) want listed (and you are the responsible party for that listing) then please notify the Frequency Coordinator.

This is the same data that is sent to the ARRL for publication in the repeater directories, and is the same data that is used in the UVHFS booklet.  Some of the fields are formatted in the manner specified by the ARRL, and others have been added as deemed necessary by the frequency coordinator to aid in record keeping.

A Note about packet listings:

The packet database is no longer being actively maintained by the frequency coordinator on a station-by-station basis.  The packet information is no longer being included in the raw data file as it was so far out of date that it was practically worthless  For more information on packet operation, go to the 2 Meter Repeater Pair Utilization along the Wasatch Front page and look at the portion specific to packet operation.

If you wish to take a stab at providing reasonably up-to-date information on packet activity, then please contact the Frequency Coordinator.

The formats and abbreviations used in the database are defined below.

PLEASE NOTE that this format has changed as of January, 2004.

Format Overview

The raw file is in comma-delimted or “CSV” format. This format is accepted by many spread-sheet and database programs and is reasonably easy to work with if you wish to write a custom program.

The file is ASCII text and can be viewed and manipulated in most text editors. Each line of the file represents one record for one repeater (or other frequency use). The record is divided into fields separated by commas. For example:

Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4

(See below for definitions of the information contained in each field or “column.”)

Some fields may have embedded commas. When this happens, the entire field is enclosed in double quotation marks so that the embedded commas will not be confused with the field-separating commas:

Field1,"This field, clearly, has commas",Field3

A quoted field may also have embedded quotation marks. These literal quotation marks are shown doubled:

Field1,"This ""unusual"" field, clearly, has commas",Field3

Thus, fields may contain the entire printable character set.

Downloading for Windows Users

The file currently resides on a Linux-based server. Linux uses a different convention for line endings than do DOS and Windows systems. Some Windows applications (including Excel) will happily accept either format. But for maximum portability it is best to download the file in a way that causes it to be converted to the format native to your operating system. One way to accomplish this for Windows users is as follows:

1. Using Internet Explorer, version 6 or greater, follow the link to the raw data file and display the file as if it were a normal web page. It won't look pretty, but that doesn't matter.
2. From the “File” menu, choose “Save As...”
3. Change the file name if desired, but leave the extension blank or use the “.txt” extension. Ensure the “Save as type” field has “Text File (*.txt)” selected.
4. Select the “Save” button to start the download.
5. When the download is complete, rename the file so the extension is “.csv” to reflect the type of data.

Downloading the file without displaying it first will not cause the conversion of line endings to take place. Other browsers may not make the conversion. (Mac users, you're on your own here. You need yet a third convention.) It might seem tempting to rename the file to “.csv” while you're in the “Save As...” window. Don't do it. For some reason this causes the file to be converted to HTML!

The file on the server has a “.txt” extension to make the format conversion possible. Once the download is complete it is best to rename the file to end with “.csv” which more accurately reflects the type of data. The “.csv” extension will let you open it in more applications without having to answer as many questions.

If this scheme doesn't work for you and your downloaded file still needs its line endings converted, another solution is to get the free program flip, which will convert the downloaded file after the fact.

• 29 - 10 Meters
• 52 - 6 Meters
• 144 - 2 Meters
• 220 - 1.25 Meters

Output Frequency/Input Frequency:

These two fields show the output and input frequencies, in MHz, of the system.  Where the system does not operate on split frequencies (i.e. packet or some "remote base" operations) only a single frequency appears.  To figure the split, you'll have to do the math...

State

This field contains the standard 2-letter state abbreviation of the listed entry.  Remember that this database contains some information relating to bordering states to allow for frequency use in these areas and how they impact Utah operations.  Note that this database provides official coordination/repeater information only for UTAH listings!

Location

This field contains the location of the repeater.  This is may be the town/city closest to the system, or it may be the name of the actual site.  The data in this field, while it may be significant to the frequency coordinator, may not be wholly useful to the user.  Generally, the best-known local name for the location (or nearby city) is given.  The "Site Name" field (see below) contains the name of the actual radio site (where known.)

Callsign

This field contains the callsign used by the system in question for identification.  This may not always be the callsign of the trustee.

Sponsor

This field may contain an abbreviation of the sponsoring group or club, the callsign of the trustee, or nothing at all (as in those cases where such information is unknown.)

Source

This fields indicates the source of this data entry.  In all cases here, it will be UVHFS.

Geographical Area

This field indicates the general coverage area of this repeater.  This data in this fields is very generic so that it may hopefully mean something to someone unfamiliar with the area. The data in this field, while it may be significant to the frequency coordinator, may not be wholly useful to the local user who may be more familiar with local place-names.  A new field has been added that contains more user-relevant information (see the "Coverage Area" field below for more specific information.).

Coordinated

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system is coordinated, "N" indicates that this system is not coordinated.  If blank, assume "Y."

Open

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this is an open system, available for all to use.  Please note that "Open" doesn't necessarily mean that special repeater features such as an autopatch or linking system is also open as well.  If blank, assume "Y."

Closed

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.   A "Y" indicates that this is a closed system, available for the members only.  If blank, assume "Y."

Tone

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that a subaudible (a.k.a. CTCSS) tone is used on this system.  If blank, assume "N." See the "CTCSS_IN" and "CTCSS_OUT" fields below for overriding conditions.

CTCSS_IN

This field contains the frequency of the subaudible tone(s) used for system access on the input.  If this field contains a tone frequency, the "TONE" field (above) is ignored and always considered to be "Y" - no matter what it says.

CTCSS_OUT

This field contains the frequency of the subaudible tone(s) transmitted by the system.  If this field contains a tone frequency, the "TONE" field (above) is ignored and always considered to be a "Y" - no matter what it says.

DCS

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system requires a DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) code to be transmitted to access this system.  If blank, assume "N."

DCS_CODE

This field contains the DCS access code.  If this field contains a code, the "DCS" field (above) is ignored and always considered to be a "Y" - no matter what it says.

DTMF

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that some sort of DTMF sequence is required to access this system.

Remote_Base

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system has a "Remote Base" associated with it.  Further details may appear in the "notes" column.

SNP

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system resides on a repeater frequency pair that is coordinated, but is "Shared, Non-Protected."  This means that other repeaters may be operational on this same frequency within the overlap area.  If blank, assume "N."

Autopatch

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system has an open autopatch available for all to use.  Note:  This field is ignored if the "Closed_Patch" field is "Y."  If blank, assume "N."

Patch_Seq

This is the DTMF sequence required to access the autopatch, if such information is to be published.  If this field contains information, then the "Autopatch" fields is ignored and assumed to be "Y."

Closed_Patch

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that the autopatch on this system is closed to the general amateur population.  Club membership and/or special permission is required for legitimate access of the autopatch on this system.

Emerg_Power

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system has some sort of emergency power system.  If blank, assume "N."

Emerg_Sun

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system is solar-powered and/or it has solar power as an emergency power source.  If blank, assume "N."  If this field is "Y" then the "Emerg_Power" fields is ignored and assumed to be "Y."

RACES

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this is a primary RACES system.  If blank, assume "N."

ARES

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this is a primary ARES system.  If blank, assume "N."

Wide_Area

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system has coverage that is significantly better than average.  This would be due to its location atop a tall tower, on top of a mountain, or some other geographical property.  If blank, assume "N."

Law

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that this system has direct access to law enforcement or emergency services.  If blank, assume "N."

Law_DTMF

This field contains the DTMF sequence used for Law Enforcement access. Please note that the presence or lack of an autopatch (open or closed) does not necessarily mean that there is or is not law-enforcment access.  Many system have autopatches, but have law-enforcement access blocked due to abuse.  If this field contains information, the "Law" field is ignored and assumed to be "Y."

Weather

This is a boolean (Y/N) field.  A "Y" indicates that there are provisions to access weather information on this system.  If blank, assume "N."

Weather_DTMF

This field contains the DTMF sequence to access weather information.  If this field contains information, the "Weather" field is ignored and assumed to be "Y."

• For Echolink nodes, this field would contain an "E" followed by the node number, if known (e.g. "E123456")
• For IRLP nodes, this field would contain an "I" followed by the node number, if known (e.g. "I1234")
• Multiple nodes may be included in this filed separated by spaces (e.g. "I1234 E123456")
  

Notes:

This field formerly contained information about whether this repeater is open or not, subaudible tones, autopatch, and link information.  This field may still contain such information as the conversion to the current format progresses.  For the most part, this information is redundant and is contained in the previous fields.  However, information that does not fit into existing fields may be placed here, such as HF gateway information, etc.

A brief explanation of some of the older abbreviations that had been used on this list in the NOTES column:

• O - (Open)  Designates "open" repeater or system, available for all to use.  Note that an "open" system may include a "closed" (e.g. members only) autopatch.
• C - (Closed)  Designates "closed" repeater or system. For more information about the "how and why" of closed systems, look at the Frequency Coordination FAQ.
• L - (Linked)  Designates a linked repeater system.  The frequency of a linked repeater, or the name or abbreviation of the linked system will immediately follow the "L".  (e.g. "L146.94" or "L(SDARC)")
• X - (Excellent coverage)  Designates a "Wide Area Coverage" repeater.  Typically, this repeater offers unusually wide coverage, usually due to its excellent location.
• A - (Autopatch)  Designates that this repeater has an autopatch. Note: Most autopatches are closed except to members of the supporting organization, even if the repeater itself is open. NOTE:  Where it is uncertain whether or not the autopatch is closed, it will be listed with an "A" and not a "Ca".  For more info about "closed" patches, look here.
• Ca - (Closed autopatch)  Designates an autopatch that is known to be "closed" (see above).
• E - (Emergency power)  Designates that this repeater has an emergency power source.  This could mean battery or generator.
• Rb - (Remote base)  Designates "Remote Base" capability.  In the amateur service this usually means that there is another radio on-site that can be remotely "steered" to other frequencies, linking them to the repeater.
• Note:  When a subaudible tone frequency is listed, its frequency will be shown in this column.  To avoid confusion with a frequency shown for a link (if one is listed) it will always precede the "L" designation.
• Z - Indicates that this repeater has direct access to Law Enforcement.  This could mean that there are special provision on an autopatch for "speed dialing" law enforcement or that this repeater is, by special arrangement, monitored by a law enforcement entity.
• There are other abbreviations such as "HF" (indicating an HF gateway), "ARES" (indicating that the repeater is affiliated with an ARES group), "EOC" (indicating association with a local Emergency Operations Center), and various "Portable" or "Mobile" repeaters.  They may be a few other entries as well which should be self-explanatory.

This field contains the date of the last modification to this entry.  This is in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Coord_Date

This field contains the date on which this system was originally coordinated.  This is in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Use

This field specifies the use of the coordinated frequency.  The following list includes some entries that may not show up in the data owing to their nature (i.e. link frequencies, etc.):

• RO - Repeater (Output)
• RB - Remote Base.  (In the amateur service, this usually refers to a remotely-controlled radio of some sort.)
• PK - Packet.  Note:  The packet database is no longer being actively maintained by the frequency coordinator on a station-by-station basis.  While the listing of individual stations may not be accurate, the listings do accurately reflect frequencies used in specific geographical areas.
• SI or SX - Simplex use.  NOTE:  Simplex frequencies are not coordinated.  They are included in the database as a matter of record and completeness!  Their listing here does not construe any exclusivity of these frequencies to any particular group.  For more information, refer to the Simplex Frequency Assignments page.
• CA - Closed Autopatch.  This usually refers to a simplex autopatch (usually closed.)  As in the case of simplex frequencies, the frequencies are not coordinated per se, but included in the database as a matter of record and completeness.
• CT - Control frequencies.  (None are likely to be listed.)
• PP - Point-to-Point links.  (None are likely to be listed.)
• AL - Auxiliary Link.  (None are likely to be listed.)

This field is a remnant from the older format.  Because current records are maintained in Degree-Minute-Seconds format, this field is used and converted to the decimal Degrees in the "Latitude" and "Longitude" fields above on the fly.

Where known, this field contains the Latitude and Longitude of the site.  These are in DDMMSS format for latitude or DDDMMSS format for longitude.  For example, coordinates of 40 deg, 17' 23" N by 112 deg, 29' 36" W would be written as  401723 and 1122936.

It is worth noting that Latitude is ALWAYS assumed to be North and Longitude is ALWAYS assumed to be West.

AMSL_FEET

Where known, this field contains the altitude of the site Above Mean Sea Level in feet.

TX_POWER

Where known, this is the transmit power, in watts, as measured at the antenna.

Ant_Info

This is a free-form text field containing a brief description of the antenna, where known.

ERP

Where known, this field contains the Effective Radiated power in watts of the transmit system based on an Isotropic radiator.

Publish_Code

By definition, all entries in this file will contain a "Y" indicating that the data is to be publicly available.

Active_State:

This field contains information pertaining to the state of the repeater as follows.  Note that the status "T" and "P" aren't officially recognized in the ARRL format.:

• Y - This system is known to be on the air and operating.

• N - This system is known to be off the air.  Unless the frequency coordinator is notified, in writing, and an adequate explanation as to why the system is off the air, these frequencies are subject to reassignment as spelled out in the Utah VHF Society Frequency Coordination policies.

• T - This system is known to be temporarily off the air.  This may be due to technical problems (i.e. the site is inaccessible during winter months) or other extenuating circumstances.  Unlike those systems denoted with a P, these systems have been on the air previously.  Note:  The frequency coordinator must be kept apprised of the current status of a system marked thusly.

• P - This system is pending or proposed.  These systems are those that have applied for (and received) a frequency coordination, but are not yet on the air.  This may include those systems that are awaiting summer access for mountaintop sites. Note:  New coordinations have a SIX month period during which the system is to be put on air.  It is the responsibility of the repeater owner/trustee to keep the frequency coordinator informed of current progress in order to maintain the coordination.  This policy is instituted to prevent so-called "paper repeaters" from clogging the bands.

Site_Name

This field contains the actual name of the site.  Occasionally, this refers to a mountain peak or particular radio site, the name of which may be familiar only to local residents or those maintaining the repeater.

Coverage_Area

This field contains abbreviations referring to the coverage area of a repeater.  This list of abbreviations will continue to grow as more information is gathered.  Someone using this data may refer to it in table or it may be used to highlight areas of a map to illustrate coverage. It is recommended that, if using this data in a tabular format to describe repeater coverage, that more complete descriptions are given for each coverage area.  The descriptions below are intended primarily for one who is already familiar these coverage area.  If there are any questions concerning the various attributes of (a) specific coverage area(s) then please send email to the address at the bottom of the page.

Notice that multiple coverage areas may be listed for a given repeater:  As an example, the 146.62 repeater on Farnsworth Peak not only has a WF (Wasatch Front) coverage designation, but a TV (Tooele Valley) and an I80W (I-80 Western Corridor) designation as well, since it provides reasonable coverage these areas.  When multiple coverage areas are given, they are delimited by a forward slash (/).

These coverage areas are based on known geographical coverage areas of existing systems and the limits of those various systems due to surrounding terrain.  For example, it is known that a particular repeater in the NWF area (Northern Wasatch Front) does not cover well into the SLC area, and thus there are two distinct areas.  Note, however, that some other areas such as WF (Wasatch Front) include numerous smaller coverage areas.  These distinctions are done to better detail the actual coverage areas of a particular repeater.  Note that there is has been an attempt to balance usefully-detailed information against overwhelming the user with too much detail and providing uselessly generalized data.  It will no doubt be noticed that those areas with higher population density are the same ones with more coverage details (namely the Wasatch Front and its sub-areas.)

These coverage areas are those areas that, with an average mobile or home installation (e.g. up to 50 watts and a roof-mounted ground-plane) users can expect reliable coverage of the system.  This does not include those area for which there may be known "hot spots" (i.e. coverage of the 146.94 repeater on Frisco Peak into Utah County, or the spotty coverage of the Logan repeaters in to the Salt Lake valley.)  Handie-Talkie coverage coverage will comprise much smaller areas, of course.

The list of repeaters is continuously being updated.  At the moment, not all repeaters have been classified as to their coverage area using this new "system".  When this field was created, data was simply copied from the "Area" field (see above) and as it is being revised the new abbreviations below are used.  Note:  All of the new abbreviations are UPPERCASE while the old abbreviations and designations are a mixture of upper and lower case.

These abbreviations are defined as below.  They are grouped according to their respective MapSel values (see the definition of this field farther down this page for more information)  :

- MapSel value:  SLU - Salt Lake Metro area (Utah):
• SLM - Salt Lake Metro.  This coverage area is identical to the SLC coverage area (below) except that it uses the SLU (Salt Lake City Utah) MapSel value.  This is intended for those repeaters that effectively cover only the Salt Lake valley, essentially from the traverse range (i.e. Riverton, Draper) to the south, to an imaginary east-west line extending from the area above the state capitol to the north.
• UTCM - Utah County Metro.  This is the same coverage area as the UTCO (below) but, like the SLM area (above) is used with the SLU MapSEL value.
• SDAVISM - South Davis Metro.  This covers from the northern end of Salt Lake County to Farmington.  There are some repeaters (such as the 146.94) that do NOT cover farther north than Farmington due to blockage.

- MapSel value:  WFU - Wasatch Front (Utah):
• WFM - Wasatch Front Metro.  This refers to those areas west of the Wasatch range, extending from Payson (i.e. southern end of Utah County) to Tremonton and Malad (i.e. the Utah/Idaho border.)  This is identical in coverage to the WF area used with the NUT MapSel value
• UTCO - Utah County.  This refers to "metro" Utah County and the areas surrounding Utah Lake, approximately from Alpine (i.e. the traverse range on the north) to Payson on the south and east of the lake mountains.  This is not used in conjunction with the SLU MapSel value.
• SLC - This refers to the Salt Lake metro area and surrounding communities.  This extends from the traverse range (to the south) to approximately the airport to the north.  This abbreviation applies to those "local" repeaters that do not have full Wasatch Front coverage.  Note that the SLC coverage area is intended to be associated with the WFU (Wasatch Front Utah map.) Note that it is identical in coverage to the SLM coverage area (above.)
• HEBER - This refers to the city of Heber and those communities immediately surrounding it.
• MORGAN - This refers to the city of Morgan and its surrounding communities.
• NWF - Northern Wasatch Front.  This is the area of the Wasatch Front from approximately the Idaho border down south through Weber County (roughly from Tremonton to the north of, but not including, Ogden.)
• DAVIS - This includes those communities of Davis County from North Salt Lake to Layton.  Unlike the SDAVISM area (see its full description in the SLM area above) this includes all of Davis county.
• SDAVISW - This areas is identical to the SDAVISM area described above, except that it is associated with the WFU MapSel value.
• WSLCM - Western Salt Lake City Metro This refers to coverage along the western side of the Salt Lake valley.  It is identical to the WSLC area (below) but is associated with the WFU MapSel value.
• OGDEN - This covers the immediate vicinity of Ogden/South Ogden.  This would be for a repeater that has only low-level Ogden coverage.
• WEBER - This include Ogden/South Ogden, and farther north/south in Weber county.
• CACHE - Cache County.  This refers to the Cache Valley area and surrounding communities (from approximately Richmond to Avon.)
• LOGAN - This refers to the Logan area and those areas immediately surrounding it.  This would refer to a repeater that does not have good overall coverage of Cache Valley.
• RICH - This refers to Rich County and areas around Bear Lake.
• MANTUA - This refers to the area around Mantua and U.S. Highway 89 immediately surrounding it.
• TOWER  - This refers to the coverage area of a repeater located on Tower Mountain.
• CDRVLY - This covers the area "behind" (to the west of) Lake and West mountains in Utah county - mostly the Cedar Valley area.
• TVM - Tooele Valley "Metro" - This is identical to the "TV" area (below) except that it is associated with the WFU MapSel value.
• POWDER - This refers to the coverage area of a repeater located on Powder Mountain.  This includes the Cache and Morgan valleys.

- MapSel value:  NUT - Northern Utah:
• WF - Wasatch Front.  This refers to those areas west of the Wasatch range, extending from Payson (i.e. southern end of Utah County) to Tremonton and Malad (i.e. the Utah/Idaho border.)  This is identical in coverage to the WFM area used with the WFU MapSel value
• SDAVISN - South Davis NUT map.  This is identical to the SDAVISM area (above) except that it is associated with the NUT MapSel value
• SLCN - Salt Lake City NUT map.  This is identical to the SLC area (above) except that it is associated with the NUT MapSel value
• UTCON - Utah County Nut map.  This is identical to the UTCO area (above) except that it is associated with the NUT MapSel value
• HW - High Wasatch.  This refers to those communities "behind" (to the east of) the Wasatch Front metro areas such as Park City, Heber, Coalville, etc.
• WSLC - West Salt Lake City valley.  This refers to those communities along the Oquirrh range.  Some repeaters (such as the 147.18 Hidden Peak repeater) have poor/spotty coverage of all but the western part of the valley.  This is the same as WSLCM (above) but is used with the NUT MapSel value.
• I80W - Interstate 80 West corridor.  This refers to the Interstate 80 corridor that extends to the west of the Wasatch Front to the Nevada border.
• I80E - Interstate 80 East corridor.  This refers to the Interstate 80 corridor that extends to the east of the Wasatch Front to the Wyoming border and into Evanston.
• TV - Tooele Valley.  This refers to the area between the Oquirrh and Stansbury range from approximately Grantsville (to the north) down toward Vernon to the south.  For a depiction of coverage of this area where such a large map is not needed, use the TVM area along with a WFU MapSel value.
• SWY - Southwestern Wyoming.  This refers to that "corner" of Wyoming (and neighboring portions of Utah) that comprise approximately Kemmerer and Evanston.  This portion of Wyoming is well-enough covered that it is included as a coverage area.
• WD - West Desert.  This refers to those areas around Dugway and into Wendover and those areas generally to the north and west of the Great Salt Lake.

- MapSel value:  EUT - Eastern Utah:
• TABBY - Tabby mountain.  This refers to those areas in east-central Utah around Tabby Mountain, including Duchesne, Roosevelt, and Vernal (i.e. covered by a system atop Tabby mountain.)
• CWY - Central Southwestern Wyoming.  This refers to that portion of southwestern Wyoming that includes Green River/Rock Springs.  This is differentiated from SWY above because many of the systems that do cover SWY (such as the 147.18 Hidden Peak repeater) do not cover Green River/Rock Springs and vice-versa.  Geographical properties necessitate separation of these two coverage areas.  This applies mostly to those few Wyoming repeaters that may be on this list.
• VERNAL - Vernal, Roosevelt, Duchesne:  This refers, in general, to those portions of eastern Utah (i.e. coverage of Blue Mtn. near Vernal.)
• BRUIN - Bruin peak.  This covers from the general area of Roosevelt and near Vernal to the north, barely into the Price/Wellington area to the south and west, and down to I-70 west of Green River to the south.

- MapSel value:  SEU - SouthEastern Utah:
• PRICE - Price, Utah.  This is the area immediately around Price, Wellington, Helper, and Huntington (i.e. a "local" repeater.)
• HORN - Horn mountain (near Castledale, Utah.)  This coverage is very similar to that of FORD except that it does not cover north and west into Price canyon (toward Soldier Summit,) and it covers south toward Emery and Ferron better than Ford Ridge.
• ABAJO - Abajo peak in South Eastern Utah.  This refers to those areas around Monticello, Moab, Blanding, and into the four-corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.  An example of this area would be that covered by a repeater on Abajo Peak.  (This are formerly name SE)
• BALD - Bald mesa.  This refers to the area around Moab, as far south as Monticello, north toward Green River, Utah and east along I-70 to a point just past the Colorado border.  An example of this area would be that covered by a repeater on Bald Mesa near the LaSalle mountains.
• MOAB - Moab, Utah.  This refers to that area in the immediate vicinity of Moab (i.e. a "local" repeater.)
• CDRMTN - Cedar Mountain.  This refers to coverage area from Cedar Mountain.  This covers (approximately) from Price on the west to Green River, Utah toward the south, bounded by the Bookcliffs on the north and east.

- MapSel value:  CUT - Central Utah (more toward the west, really...):
• BEESTING - This is the area between CEDAR and DELTA in the general area of Fillmore.  This covers from Nephi down to Richfield and north of Manti as far as Mt. Pleasant. This is the area covered by a repeater atop "Beesting" Peak.  (Formerly called FILLMORE)
• SKYLINE - This covers from extreme southern end of Utah county (to the north) and the valley communities from  Fairview and Nephi down to Salina, with coverage toward Delta.
• STERLING - "Sterling" Radio site.  This covers from north of Levan and Fairview (to the north) down to Richfield to the south.  This has similar coverage to SKYLINE except that its northern, western, and eastern coverage is somewhat less.

- MapSel value:  CCU - "Central" Central Utah (not including any borders of adjacent states):
• FORD - This refers to coverage area from Ford Ridge, near Scofield, Utah.  This covers Scofield and Soldier Summit as well as into the Price valley area, going as far south as Huntington and as far east as Sunnyside.
• MANTI - This refers to the area in central Utah surrounding Manti - from Nephi and Fairview to the north down as far as Richfield to the south.  This would be the result of repeater coverage from Barton Peak.
• SALINA - This refers to those areas of central Utah in the general area of Salina - particularly that area near Salina Canyon.  This would be from a bit north of Scipio, nearly as far north as Manti, south of Richfield, and with some coverage east into Emery, Ferron, and the San Rafael Desert
• MONROE- Monroe peak.  This refers to the area around Richfield and its surrounding communities.  The coverage area also includes from Nephi to the north, Fillmore to the west, Ferron and Emery to the east, and Panguitch to the south.  This refers to the coverage on/near Monroe Peak.  (This area was formerly CEN in the CUT MapSel area.)

- MapSel value:  SWU - SouthWestern Utah:
• SW - SouthWestern Utah.  This refers to the area of Washington County as a whole, including parts of neighboring counties and states south and west of St. George (i.e. Utah Hill coverage.)
• SG - St. George.  This refers to the area immediately surrounding St. George and the neighboring communities.  This implies much more localized coverage area than the SW designation above.
• KANAB - KANAB, Utah.  This refers to those areas of southern Utah, east of the SW area.  This includes Kanab and surrounding areas.
• GC - Garfield County.  This refers to those areas of south-central Utah in the general area of Panguitch (i.e. the western portion of Garfield county.)
• DELTA - This refers to those area in west-central Utah around Delta.
• CEDAR - This refers to those areas around Cedar City (i.e. a "local" repeater.)
• FRISCO - This refers to coverage area from Frisco Peak, near Milford, Utah.  This covers into Nevada, down toward Cedar City, and up toward Delta, Utah.
• BLOWHARD - This refers to the coverage area from a repeater atop Blowhard Peak.  This includes parts of St. George and to the east as far as Bolder and Escalante.

- MapSel value:  SUT - Southern UTah:
• HENRY - This refers to that area around the Henry Mountain range in southeastern Utah.  This includes Hanksville to the north and west, Hite, Boulder and Escalante, and Bullfrog.  This is coverage from a Mt. Ellen repeater.
• NAVAJO - This refers to the area generally around Lake Powell from Bullfrog to Wahweap and Hite and toward the south into Arizona, and North as far as Boulder.  This refers, generally, to the area covered by a repeater placed on Navajo Mountain, for example.
• JACOB - This is the area (in Arizona) covered by the Jacob Lake repeater site.  This provides coverage into Kanab and Fredonia, to Long Valley Junction and Escalante toward the north, and a bit farther east than Page, as well as along the Vermillion Cliffs in Arizona.


The following coverage areas are used to denote, in a very general way, their coverage area.  No coverage maps are defined but these areas may be covered by overlap of one or more of the above areas.

• NV - Areas of Nevada bordering Utah.
• CO - Areas of Colorado bordering Utah.
• AZ - Areas of Arizona bordering Utah.
• NM - Areas of New Mexico adjacent to Utah.
• ID - Areas of Idaho bordering Utah.

UT- Utah.  This applies to those entries that include all of Utah.  This is for information only and is not necessarily meant to imply statewide coverage of a particular system.

(Additional abbreviations will be added as necessary)

This field contains numeric footnotes that explain certain attributes of the repeater/system. The letter "O" (Oh) is not used, as it could be confused with a 0 (zero.)  These footnotes are defined as follows:

A - This repeater is part of the Intermountain Intertie (a.k.a. the Snowbird Link System.)
B - This repeater is part of the Sinbad Desert Amateur Radio Club system.
C - This repeater does may require a subaudible tone for access.  Repeaters in this category are often run with no tone access, as conditions permit.  This repeater does transmit the indicated tone and the user may program his/her tone squelch to use it.
D - These frequencies are available as Test Pairs and are intended for use on a temporary basis to test the suitability of a particular site, equipment, and/or for special events.  Coordination and the use of a subaudible tone is required for use.  These frequencies are shared and no protection from interference is afforded.  The coordinated use of tone access is intended to help mitigate any interference issues.
E - This is for a portable repeater which may be operational at different times and locations as needed for special events or emergency situations.
F - The 146.62 Farnsworth repeater and the 146.62 Scott's Hill repeater are to be synchronously linked together to expand coverage of the system.  These two repeaters together will function as a single repeater.
G - Note that this repeater has a -600 KHz offset.
H - Note that this repeater has a split direction that is reversed from standard.
I - This repeater is part of the Deseret Amateur Radio Society (DARS) a group affiliated with the Cactus intertie.  This is a closed system.  For more information on this system contact the Frequency Coordinator.
J - This is a "closed" repeater.  For more information, refer to the trustee or the contact person.
K - This repeater, while normally linked into the system, may be unlinked at times to reduce local traffic and/or to conserve power.  For more information, contact the person/group that operates it.
L - This repeater is linked to the WA6HXO (Las Vegas) group.
M - This repeater is affiliated with the Utah VHF Society.

(Additional footnote designations are reserved)

Contact_Email

This field contains the email address of the "contact person" for the repeater/system, if such information is available.

Repeater_Web_Page

This field contains the URL of a web page with information about the repeater/system/site, if such information is available.

MapSel

When displaying an interactive coverage area map, this field indicates which "base" map to use for the coverage overlays - see the "Coverage Area" field, above.  There are several maps in order to permit a reasonable level of detail for the various coverage areas.  These maps also include a certain amount of overlap to adjacent areas as deemed appropriate.  The general mapping areas are defined as follows:

• SLU - Salt Lake City, Utah.  This contains only the Salt Lake and Provo metro areas, encompassing the SLM and UTCM coverage areas.  This is intended for those repeaters that effectively cover only the Salt Lake valley and/or Utah County metro areas, essentially from south of Payson to the south, to an imaginary east-west line extending from the area above the state capitol to the north.
• WFU - Wasatch Front Utah.  This includes all of the Wasatch Front from Payson to Tremonton plus the Cache and Heber valleys as well as the Bear Lake (Rich County) area.
• NUT - Northern Utah.  This includes the Wasatch Front, and from the Nevada to the Wyoming borders.
• EUT - Eastern Utah.  Includes the Vernal, Tabiona area, bordering the Price and Green River, Utah to the south..
• CUT - Central Utah - This goes from Garfield county to the south, southern border of Utah county to the north, Nevada to the west (including Delta) and stopping to the east with the SEU map.
• CCU - Central Central Utah.  This is a hybrid of CUT and SEU (not including any borders of adjacent states.)
• SEU - South-Eastern Utah.  This covers from Price to the four corners region, including the Henry mountains and the eastern portion of Lake Powell.
• SWU - South-Western Utah.  This covers St. George, Cedar City, Panguitch, Kanab.
• SUT - Southern Utah.  This is a larger map, including most of the SEU and SWU areas, including the POWELL, HENRY, and JACOB areas.
• Note that there is no map for UT (i.e. all of Utah.)  A map this large that could show reasonable detail would be very large and require a long download time.
• Note:  The remaining adjacent state areas (i.e. ID, CO, NV, AZ, and NM) do not have specific coverage information defined.  The relevant coverage maps will show a bit of "spillover" beyond the Utah border.

Important Note:  Refer to the "Coverage Area" field definition (above) for more information about what areas are included in each of the MapSel blocks.

This field contains telephone numbers for contacting the repeater owners.  This field may be blank either due to lack of information, or if the contact person(s) do not choose to have their numbers published.

Update_Source

This field indicates the source of the data for the most recent update (noted in the Date of Last Update field.)  This will often be just a name or callsign.  For "minor" updates (i.e. that do not require re-coordination,  etc.) a "reliable" second source is acceptable.  For "major" changes (i.e. change of ownership, site move, etc.) direct contact with the owner/trustee is required.

Coordinator_Notes

This field contains miscellaneous notes pertaining to some aspect of of the system.  These may have something to do with an operational aspect or pertaining to when a repeater is expected to be on the air (or back on...)

Contact_Mail

This field contains postal mail address for the system's owner or other contact person.
 

END OF FIELD DEFINITION.

PLEASE NOTE that additional fields may be added in the future.  Where possible, additional fields will be included in additional columns beyond the last field defined above.

If you are designing a system to import this data, please make allowances for the possible existence of these (possible) extra fields so that their addition does not "break" your code!  In other words, don't blame us for your poorly-designed software!

Formatting Notes:

• The data is in comma-delimited format.

• Additional fields will be added in the future.  Again, these extra fields will be added after the last field and will not be inserted amongst existing fields if at all possible.  If whatever it is that you use to process this raw data will simply ignore additional fields, you should have no problems when additional fields are added.  Any additions or changes will be mentioned on this page.

• There is no header information for this data contained within the file:  You will have to supply your own header!

The "raw" data file contains all repeaters - including "paper" repeaters.  If you want your list to be accurate, you must process the list looking at the active state field (the 19th field - described above) and remove all entries that are inactive!

Failure to do this will result in your having a bloated list that does not accurately reflect what is actually on the air!

It is the recommendation of the Utah VHF society that only those entries with a "Y" in the active state field indicating that they are believed to be on the air and active to be put on an online list.  If you are producing a printed list, you may wish to also include those with a "T" which indicates those that are temporarily off air, but are expected to return soon.

Repeaters with a "P" or "U" or "N" status should not be listed in any presented in a printed or online directory in a manner that may be possibly result with them as being construed as being on the air!

Those repeaters marked with "N" are typically those that have been proposed - but never built, or have left the air and are not expected to return.  They are retained in the raw database solely for reference purposes.  Repeaters in this listing that appear with an "N" may also include those that have lost their coordination due to inactivity or official notification by the trustee.

As of early 2004 the ARRL's "internal" format for maintaining repeater records was dramatically changed.  In particular, the older "notes" field has been broken into individual boolean and data fields to improve handling and sorting capability.  The Utah VHF Society has adopted a modified version of this format in early 2004.
