Welcome to Lakes Region Repeater Association (LRRA) 50 years of amateur radio leadership. 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 10 repeaters. Seven are located on Bennett Hill in Ossipee, one on Mt. Rowe in Gilford and two on New Durham Ridge. Please join our great group of ‘ham radio enthusiasts’. Donations are always appreciated to help manage the repeater network and other community service activities. Whatever the frequency you use, ‘Happy DX’ing and networking’. A hearty “73”

Due to the nature and wide coverage of the system, when one repeater is in use , it ties up other repeaters. Also, be aware that what you say on the system can be heard over many thousands of square miles .Also, because of the many links, please remember to key your mic at least 1/2 second before speaking. If you are using any of the repeaters, allow at least one second for the repeaters to all drop out and reset. This also allows other operators to join in.
