Milwaukee Area Amateur Radio Society

The Milwaukee Area Amateur Radio Society (MAARS) operates the largest coverage 2-meter repeater in Southeastern Wisconsin. Our goal is to expand and maintain our repeater system to the highest level possible. While this isn’t always easy, we have maintained a system that hasn’t been duplicated in the area.

MAARS has always tried to be the leader in the area of technology. Our repeater was the first to have a remote receive site. We also were the first VHF repeater to install a remote base for both VHF and UHF. We are the backbone repeater for the National Weather Service reporting network for Southeastern Wisconsin.

Please visit us on the repeater and tell us what you think. We think you will find you are among friends on the 145.130 MHz (CTCSS 127.3) repeater.

We meet for monthly breakfasts on the 2nd Saturday of every month except June, July and August. During the summer months, there are public service events and other ham radio activities that conflict with our breakfast. The location of the breakfast restaurant change from month to month. Please check back here or listen to the repeater for announcements. All breakfasts start at 9am unless otherwise noted.
