Amateur Radio Repeaters covering I-95 in Georgia
The repeaters and simplex frequencies listed below are the ones on which you will find much of the VHF/UHF amateur radio activity in the Coastal Georgia area, especially along the I-95 Corridor. It isn’t comprehensive, but this list will give the new ham or visiting ham the best places to look for activity. At the bottom, there is also a listing of area nets by day including club nets and ARES nets.
