The Iowa Repeater Council Board decided to provide a “Help Desk” at the Southeast Iowa Hamfest.  The hope is to provide members with a direct connection to the Repeater Coordinator and members of the board.  The IaRC Help Desk will be open from 7:00 AM until 2:00 PM.  All questions and concerns will be addressed.  If you wish to coordinate a new repeater, download and fill in the application and bring it to the Hamfest.  If you have concerns, bring any paperwork that you have and we’ll do our best to resolve the issue.
