SUNGMRS

 

A set of repeaters put into service and maintained for any licensed members of the general public to freely communicate with family and friends.  It is in no way affiliated with any government agency or emergency group. Nobody has priority traffic here.  The tower sites are all backed up by battery and generator so that they will be available when needed the most.  It’s all been a labor of love of the challenge, the hobby and our communities.  

Please be courteous and respectful to each other when operating.  

Feel free to reach out with anything and please request initial use by filling out the form at the bottom of this page or emailing us at:  Support@SUNGMRS.com

Rules for operation:

Rules for SUNGMRS repeater use:

Do not commandeer the repeater for nets or drills.

Do not broadcast one way transmissions.

Do not acknowledge jammers or rude operators.

 

Long conversations and round tables are perfectly fine,

however

If there is a Hurricane or Tornado watch or warning in effect by NOAA for your county, please keep conversations under 15min unless otherwise necessary. 

This is to politely allow those who use the repeaters to test comms and check in with family and friends during inclement weather to do so.

Please try to be courteous and respectful to all fellow operators.

Feel free to help another with guidance or resources if you are able.
