The Sunnyvale Amateur Radio Emergency Service (SARES) Repeater Group (SARES-RG), an ARRL affiliated club, intends to maintain a set of open repeaters that will be used as a Santa Clara County resource in disaster response activations, mutual aid, and public service.

History of the Repeater (formerly W6AMT)
The Association of Mountain Toppers (AMT) Amateur Radio Club are the former owners of SARES-RG's first repeater. We wish to thank AMT for their generous donation of equipment and copious documentation.
W6AMT's log of their earlier repeater work (PDF).
When SARES-RG receieved the repeater from AMT, the radio need some initial frequency adjustment — in which Edison, WB6IQN, graciously provided his services to get the radio back into alignment.
