| About Us The Miami County Amateur Radio Club is located in Troy, Ohio. We hold monthly business meetings at our clubhouse, 728 Harrison St. in Troy, the second Friday of every month at 7:30PM. We support many Public service events including the Troy Strawberry Festival, and many bike tours and marathons. We also provide emergency communications for the surrounding Miami Valley in the event that such a need arises. Among our many other services and activities we also hold an annual Field Day event, and provide Amateur Licensing classes every Spring. We own and operate the W8FW 145.23 mhz (-) repeater. With our antenna located atop the Time Warner Cable tower in Troy, we have a very wide coverage area throughout Miami County and surrounding areas. Join us every Sunday evening at 9PM for the Miami County Emergency Services Net. All are welcome and encouraged to check in! The repeater itself consists of a Motorola MSR2000 Transmitter/Receiver/Power Supply, an ACC RC850 Repeater Controller, and a TX/RX Duplexer. The Antenna is a 6db gain, 4 bay vertical dipole array, 320 ft. above ground level. System Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is 56 Watts. We are also currently operating a Packet Radio Mailbox, W8FW-1 on 145.050 mhz. This mailbox is operationing 24/7. The system runs 1200 baud packet using a PK232 TNC with only 18KB RAM storage. The system transmits an ID Beacon every 5 minutes it is on the air listening. Any questions or comments regarding the Mailbox, contact David Robinson WB8PMG. Our club is membership based, only $10.00 per single person for a year, or $15.00 per family for a year. Five officers are appointed yearly by the members of the club to oversee and run the business side of things.
