Welcome to NEAR-900!
The New England Amateur Radio 900 MHz Network

NEAR-900 was founded in 2008 by GEMOTO and several repeater owners.  It is a growing network of linked repeaters providing 900 MHz coverage throughout New England.

The IRLP New England Reflector 912 Channel 5 (9125) is the central linking hub of the network.  You can see which repeaters are currently connected by checking the 9125 channel on the IRLP Status Page.  Non-900 MHz IRLP nodes are welcome to connect breifly as guests, while 900 MHz nodes are encouraged to remain connected for extended periods.  For more information, see our full Policy on the reflector's web site.

The NEAR900 network is also available via Allstar node W1ATD 60635 and EchoLink node W1ATD-L 249961 and the New England 900 MHz P25 Reflector 900 via Pi-Star and WPSD.

To help promote the use of 900 MHz in New England, Thursdays are designated as "900 MHz Thursdays".  Get on your local 900 MHz repeater and make at least one contact to participate!  You can also find your closest 900 MHz repeater by checking the New England Repeater Directory's 33-centimeter band database.

We also have a mailing list via Google Groups and a NEAR-900 Facebook group for active hams of the NEAR-900 community.  Topics include the latest surplus radios for sale, local repeater changes, radio programming and codeplugs, 900 day discussion and more!
