Hams for Emergency Radio Communications (HERC)

The HERC system has essentially dissolved and no longer exists

The HERC system was a network of interlinked repeaters across the state of Wyoming. As well as being a valued emergency resources, HERC was a great way for travelers or folks living in different communities to keep in touch. A weekly traffic net was held on Sunday evenings.

Since the demise of HERC, a new linked system called WyoComm has grown to include several areas in Wyoming. See the WyoComm page for details.

[edit] Sites

Many of the individual sites and their repeaters used in HERC remain and most are now used locally.

Currently the .940 in Rock Springs, the .820 in Cheyenne/Laramie, and the .390 Rawlins repeaters all exist. The Rock Springs and Cheyenne/Laramie repeaters are stand alone machines that both have great coverage of their respective parts of I-80 and surrounding roads.

The Rawlins .390 repeater has been linked into the WyoComm system.

[edit] Thank you!

Many thanks to Larry Hudson, KD7BN and those that built HERC and kept it running for so long!
