[edit] Welcome
Welcome to the Alaska Ham Radio WIKI. This site is just one part of the Alaska wikicity, and most of this information will be mostly from Ham Radio operators in the Fairbanks Interior. If you have any questions or would like to see information on this page.. Please let me know and I will be glad to inform you on how to add to the WIKI if you don't know. Please be courteous to other users of the WIKI and please use the standard Ham radio etiquette.

[edit] KL7KC Fairbanks Interior Club
KL7KC is the local club which meets every first Friday of the month. These meetings are open to the public and are held at the IARC building on University of Alaska, Fairbnaks campus. Also held by KL7KC are licence exam sessions, free of charge. These exams are given at the Noel Wein Library on The First Saturday Of the Month At 1:00 pm. For more information, please visit KL7KC.com.
[edit] Local Operating Frequencies
In the Interior, KL7KC hosts several repeaters and has an actively linked system covering Healy, Denaly, Fairbanks, Delta, and Dot Lake. The complete system is open to licenced hams (the only hams there should be). There are 3 repeaters with Phone-patch capabilities. Here is a list of the repeaters:
- Ester Dome 88 machine: 146.88 - split PL:103.5 Phone-patch
- Ester Dome 79 machine: 147.79 - split PL:103.5 Phone-patch
- Geophysical Institute: 146.94 - split PL:103.5 Phone-patch
- IRLP: 147.550 - simplex PL:97.4
- Simplex:146.52
146.88 is the primary repeater. You are most likely to make a contact on this repeater if you are in need of more information, help, or just a friendly chat.
Also, among the voice frequencies, there is a growing number of APRS users in the interior. The standard frequency of 144.390Mhz is used. Among the fixed home stations (including WX stations) AD4BL hosts a Digipeter which covers most of Fairbanks. In turn, the local stations can digi through AD4BL-7 to KL1SF-3 or KL0RN and pass the positions to the internet where they can be viewed at map.findu.com. With the internet, now many of these small APRS communities can now be joined into one big APRS community. Feel free to join our APRS group and say Hello!
[edit] Interior scanner frequencies
As the new ALMR system is implemented, It is harder to monitor "conventional" communications. At this point in time, Fort Wainwright, Eilson, Fairbanks Police, State Dept of Transportation and more are on this system. For more information visit RadioReference.com Alaska
[edit] UPDATE
Various departments have began to completely use the ALMR system. Currently Feb 07, North Star Volunteer, North Pole Fire, Fort Wainwright Fire, and some others are now solely on ALMR.
