This is a directory of Boston-area repeaters (including but not limited to the BARC machines) for area hams who are setting up HTs for the first time, or visitors to the area who want to program some local machines into their rigs. It is an admittedly subjective list and comments are welcome.
You can find a comprehensive list of local repeaters in the New England Repeater Directory.
B in the second column means strong in downtown Boston.
