Welcome to WAFAR!
The 2 meter WAFAR transmitter site is on the roof of the Hospital in Melrose Park. The 220 and 440 MHz. repeaters originate from Schiller Park. The 3 cover a good part of Northeast Illinois. WAFAR members use these repeaters for public service events, drive-time chit-chat, as well as the WAFAR Weekly Information net each Wednesday evening at 19:30. The three repeaters are open to all Amateur Radio operators to use whenever in the region. Of course, you are also welcome to become a member of WAFAR and help support one of Chicago's largest repeater systems.
