The Price County Repeater Association is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational, scientific, and charitable organization eligible to receive tax deductible donations under Section 170(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Association is incorporated as a non-stock corporation under Wisconsin law. We are tax deductible and receive contributions. Please send them to PO box 14 ParkFalls W.I. 4552-0014The Association was initially incorporated in May of 1980 for the purpose of acquiring and deploying a regional VHF repeater to serve the greater Price County area, including southern Ashland County. A VHF repeater was purchased and placed in operation at Park Falls, Wisconsin, on 147.000 MHz. A second UHF repeater operating on 444.475 Mhz was eventually acquired and placed in operation at a second location in the City of Park Falls.
The PCRA has provided continuous support for these repeaters for the last 31 years and has gradually updated equipment and site locations to expand wide-area coverage in rural northern Wisconsin.
The Association was recently re-organized after the long illness and death of the long-term Registered Agent, KZ9V. The club call, W9PFP, was obtained by the PCRA in 2011 and the Association also obtained ARRL affiliation in 2011.
