Who We Are:

KC2YYL is the Niagara County Amateur Radio Events Station Radio Club. We support the Erie/Niagara County American Red Cross, other non-governmental orginizations such as the Niagara County Medical Reserve Corps, and special public events for communications needs.

The Erie/Niagara County Red Cross Disaster Services Human Resources (DSHR) communications team will be sponsoring a net for the Erie/Niagara County Red Cross. This net runs every Sunday at 1800 hrs, operates under the call KC2YYL, and will be held on the N3AU repeater system consisting of the following repeaters:443.925, PL of 151.4 + offset, 442.575, PL 107.2 + offset, and 224.420, PL 107.2 - offset. If you have any questions or would like information on joining the Erie/Niagara County Red Cross DSHR Communications Team please contact John at AC2DD@ARRL.NET. If you are out of the area please feel free to check in via Echo Link.

The Niagara County Community College repeater is open for general communications unless a Red Cross Net, drill, or emergency is in operation. All licensed amateurs in the US and Canada are invited and encouraged to use the repeater for local QSO's. We also have a HF/UHF/VHF station at NCCC ready for disaster communications with all mode capabilities.

Thank you Bob (N3AU) for the use of the call sign; your repeater system; and your donations of time and equipment. You are truely a good friend to myself, the community, the amateur radio hobby, the American Red Cross, and emergency communications. - John (AC2DD)
