Welcome to Lakes Region Repeater Association (LRRA) – with web site at W1BST.org. We are the premier non-profit amateur ham radio association located in the rural Lakes Region of New Hampshire. We actively promote 2 way radio, also known as ham radio. Our 100 plus volunteer members are friendly and knowledgeable. If you are a first time visitor and are curious about this great hobby, we provide testing for ham licenses, have fun get-togethers (monthly breakfasts and monthly newsletters), and are ARES affiliated for emergency communications. We also are home to 6 repeaters. Three are located on Bennett Hill in Ossipee, one on Mt. Rowe in Gilford and two on New Durham Ridge, New Hampshire. Please join our great group of ‘ham radio enthusiasts’. Donations are always appreciated to help manage the maintenance and operation of the repeater network and other community service activities. Whatever the frequency you use, ‘Happy DX’ing and networking’. A hearty “73”

Those interested in learning more about HAM radios attended a class on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 4-6 p.m. at Kingswood Art Center in Wolfeboro. Experienced hams shared their knowledge and experience with the basics of amateur radio through hands-on experiences and the many applications and community services Ham volunteers provided. Included was guidance specific to the application for FCC licensure.
