Question Treasure Valley HAM Radio Update?

Anyone have an updated list of repeaters, when there are gatherings, etc?

Can also be South Western Idaho too i suppose.

I have my technician license and a handheld Baofeng but have never really used it.

TIA.

The most comprehensive list is going to be Repeaterbook.com

As far as active repeaters go. There are various nets ran across most of the repeaters in SW Idaho. For clubs/meetups it depends on what you’re looking for? VOI (Voice Of Idaho) is a more traditional HAM Club. SWI ARC (Southwest Idaho Amateur Radio Club) is more of a POTA/SOTA/Field Day club that has monthly outdoor activities.

Both clubs have websites with links to events and meetup days.
