Repeaters
BARC owns, operates and maintains five different repeaters, three VHF and two UHF repeaters. Two are located right in town in Burlington, VT, on UVM's Redstone campus. Another two are located on top of Mt. Mansfield. And, one VHF repeater is located at the Fleming School in Essex Junction. Both the city of Burlington and Mt.
