Membership & Renewal Information

The Western Oregon Radio Club, Inc. was formed to maintain, operate, served the public, and improve the Portland, Oregon, repeaters which connect to the Evergreen Intertie System.

  • The Portland local system now consists of thirty-nine (39) total repeaters, operating on the ten-meter, six-meter, two-meter, seventy centimeter and twenty-three-centimeter bands.
  • The club also owns and operates an LPFM radio station, KISN-LP @ 95.1 MHz located on Mt. Scott.
  • There are also two (2) GMRS repeater sites located in the Portland Metro area. WRWZ813 is located near Aloha Oregon on Cooper Mountain serving all over Washington County and portions of adjacent counties. WRWZ813 is located on Goat Mountain and serves a large area of Portland and Clackamas County. Both are operated as standalone repeaters.

The club will soon be distributing periodic newsletters to keep the members advised of changes to the local and Evergreen Intertie system. Once a week the club convenes a local net on the WORC repeater system. The net meets to provide information about the WORC system, the operation of the Evergreen Intertie and to allow users to confirm correct operation of their equipment. Members are encouraged to participate and to learn more about the functioning of the local repeaters.

The net also transmits information from national Ham organizations and reminders of regional Amateur radio events. The majority of funding for the operation of the club is from annual membership dues. Club funds pay for club insurance, ARRL club dues, site rental for repeaters, services to members, distribution of Intertie information, postage and reproduction costs. The maintenance of club operated repeaters is carried out by the clubs technical committee. Members on the committee are well versed not only in radio network design, radio repair, but also must have experience in digital logic, systems integration, and electronic system design. The complexity of a multi-point, interconnecting radio system requires wide experience in all these disciplines.
