• WWARA's Narrow Band Proposal

    The Western Washington Amateur Relay Association is proposing to increase the number of repeater channels in the 2m band by changing the band-plan from a 20kHz raster to 12.5kHz and reducing deviation and band-width. Similar plans will be made for the 70cm band. This is a multi-year process and we should study the impact on our repeaters in south-western B.C. Below is their document describing their proposal in detail. The video is the presentation made to the BCARCC AGM by the Chair of WWARA, Kenny Richards KU7M,  and by the WWARA 2m Coordinator, Steve Van Wambeck N9VM. We urge B.C. hams to view the documents in preparation for further discussion.
