Join us for Winter Field Day at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County on January 24 & 25. Open to the public.
WIRES-X services have moved from 146.88 back to the 442.55 repeater.
The W4RAT 146.88 MHz repeater first went on the air in 1971. Transmitting 5 watts from 680 feet above Chesterfield Town Center, this repeater provides fully-digital service for owners of Yaesu System Fusion™ radios.
The repeater is open to all licensed amateurs. You do not need to be a member of the club to use our repeater. Please take a moment to become familiar with our Repeater Rules and basic repeater etiquette before going on the air. RATS members needing help accessing the repeater may reach out to their Technical Committee.
