WestVARS Repeaters
WestVARS maintains two amateur radio repeaters that are open for any licensed operator to use. Our primary repeater is the WV4ARS 2m VHF FM analog repeater that has been covering the west Volusia County area for many years. Additionaly, we support the KN4EHC 70cm UHF DMR repeater. WestVARS also supports a 915 Mhz MeshCore repeater which is open to all MeshCore users with or without a Amateur Radio license.
All repeaters are located on top of the Hugh Ash Manor building – (29.040409 North, -81.304642 West), just North of Stetson University in DeLand.
