KE7IN owns a UHF repeater located on Augspurger Mt that serves as the primary repeater for Skamania County ARES. It is housed through the generosity of Broughton Lumber Company.
The repeater site is typically not visitable from November through May due to snow. In the past, Skamania County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue has provided transport via tracked ATVs for a repair trip.
