Who
we are...
The Roaring Fork Amateur Radio
"Co-operative" operates and maintains OPEN repeaters serving communities in the
Roaring Fork and Upper Colorado River Valleys of Western Colorado.
All licensed
hams are welcome! These
repeaters are "Co-Operatively" owned and operated by a
host of amateur radio operators who wish to provide a public
service to their fellow amateurs and the community at large.
RFARC has never asked its users for dues! It is a free service to
all licensed hams so get on and use it whenever you like. For
more information, user codes and instructions, please contact
Tracy at nospamK0VQ@comcast.net. Please remove the word "nospam"
