SUPPORT HAMPTON'S GMRS REPEATER FOR DISABLED VETS
This free-to-use system has been on the air since late 2024, giving disabled veterans a reliable way to reach family when power and cell service are gone. For veterans living with PTSD, talking over radio instead of face-to-face is a game changer. The repeater is aging, and this campaign funds its replacement so the system keeps working for the operators who depend on it.
Over 100 disabled veterans and community members across Hampton Roads rely on this system.
The Hampton West GMRS Repeater on 462.575 at Bethel Tower, Hampton VA — free to use by any licensed operator.
A replacement repeater, commercial duplexer, and upgraded high-gain antenna to keep the system running for years.
