The Mid-State Amateur Radio Club maintains a two-meter repeater for the use of all licensed amateurs. The repeater serves as an on-the-air meeting place for our club members, and facilitates communications during club events. Additionally, the repeater serves as the official Skywarn repeater for Johnson County, Indiana. Whether looking for information on severe weather - or just looking for conversation to shorten your daily commute - tune in to the WA9RDF repeater.

Our repeater has recently moved to a new home, courtesy of the White River Fire Department. Our repeater is located at the home of the new White River Township Fire Department Station 51, near the intersection of State Road 135 and Olive Branch Road, just south of Greenwood.
