The Mile High Radio Club (MHRC) headquartered
in Idyllwild, CA. Nestled in the San Jacinto Mountain Range
of Riverside County is an active organization that welcomes
new members. MHRC serves the mountain communities of Idyllwild,
Fern Valley, Pine Cove, Mountain Center, Garner Valley, Poppet
Flats and Pinyon Pines by providing an opportunity for licensed
amateur radio operators to meet and exchange knowledge and experience.
For Radio Amateurs interested in emergency communications, we
have the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) - Mountain
District which is supported by the MHRC. RACES – Mountain
District is the official volunteer communications arm of Riverside
County Office of Emergency Service (OES) and operates under
FEMA for disaster communications. We assist in providing radio
communications for the local agencies and others during emergencies
and special events. We have performed (and will continue) both
fire patrols and watches over the past several years for both
the US Forest Service and Fire Officials.
We have members skilled in the technical aspects of ham radio
communication who are always willing to help those interested
in advancing their knowledge of radio or those having problems
with their radios. We also enjoy the social aspects of meeting
with people having the same interests we do.
If you are interested in learning more about our activities,
give one of the members listed above a call or join in on our
weekly radio net, Wednesday evenings at 1900 hours. Please tune
to Frequency 146.895 MHz, minus shift, PL 118.8
Our repeater is open to all Amateur Radio Operators. The repeater
is powered via a solar panel and 12 volt battery supply, providing
around the clock service. Our repeater is operated and maintained
by the MHRC under the call sign of WA6SSS.
