The Saint Lawrence Valley Repeater Council serves the diversified amateur 
radio community in coordinating the use of the 10 Meter FM segment and 
higher frequency bands for installations normally operating on one or more 
fixed frequencies.

The area of the Council includes Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties of 
New York State, the counties of Eastern Ontario, and a portion of Western 
Quebec. The Council has been in regular operation for over 30 years.

- General Meetings -

The spring 2007 meeting was held at 1:00 PM on May 12 
in the upstairs lounge of the Smiths Falls Youth Centre, following 
the morning Smiths Falls Annual Flea Market (same building).  

Full Technical Information Reports were due in October 2007 for all systems with coordinated frequencies.  If you have not provided your full report, please send it in as soon as possible.  We are currently updating the database of repeater installations.

The next meeting of the SLVRC will be in Spring, 2008.  It is planned 
again for the day and the location of the annual Smiths Falls 
amateur radio fleamarket.  This will be on Saturday, May 10 at 1:00 PM.

Your participation and support is important to the work of the Council.

                                 - We would appreciate your input and advice -

     - The 902-928 Band and the impact of use of Smart Meters by Hydro companies.
     - Continued coordination of Inactive repeaters on the 144 and 440 bands?
     - Submission of Technical Information Reports annually.

Are you on the 220 Band ?  No rigs available, you say ?  Please see this file.
We have recently lost 40% of this excellent band.  Let's try to keep what is left of it.
Note re Frequency Listings:  The former listings have been replaced by a database of  
frequencies coordinated in the SLVRC area, plus Northern Ontario repeaters.  
 Please check the information for your system.  Advise the SLVRC Secretary
