About CIARC

The Central Idaho Amateur Radio Club (CIARC) was founded in the early 1980's. Lenard Crough, W7HXU, was one of the first amateur radio operators to install a 2-meter repeater on No Business Mountain - Lookout Peak in the late 1980's. The No Business Mountain repeater currently operates on 147.020 mHz with a positive (+) offset and a 100.0 Hz CTCSS tone.

In January of 2009, the Central Idaho Amateur Radio Club, with the permission of Brundage Mountain Ski Patrol and Brundage Associates installed a 70-centimeter repeater on Brundage Mountain. The Brundage Mountain repeater currently operates on 442.500 mHz with a positive (+) offset and a 100.0 Hz CTCSS tone.

The Central Idaho Amateur Radio Club provides community public service in the form of radio communication services and serves Valley, Adams and southern Idaho counties.

The 2-meter repeater has been temporarily removed from the mountain top while vital maintenance work is being performed. Maintenance is progressing well and the repeater is available for use during maintenance. User's will experience reduced coverage. Please see the Repeater page for more details.
