So you want to get your license ?

You can now listen to the Holland ARC’s 147.060 repeater audio on the Internet.

Keep in mind that with steaming audio there is a 25-30 second delay in the audio.

This feed makes it handy for many of us to monitor the repeater from our work environment, especially during severe weather.

There is no cost to you or the club for this service.
