The Spout Springs Repeater Association
The SSRA is a nonprofit Washington, State Corporation. Incorporated in Washington State because it was "cheaper" (the
Ham way, right?)
The governing body consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer and four area Directors
elected by quorum at the annual SSRA Pot Luck Picnic normally held on the second Sunday in August at a location selected early
in the summer.
The four District Directors are chosen to represent members in key geographic repeater coverage areas.
The four districts are:
THE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT: Located roughly to include all the Blue Mountains and everything south
as far as the repeater will reach including the Joseph/Enterprise and Baker City areas and all of the Wallowa Mountains plus
the Western portion of Idaho that's in range.

THE WALLA WALLA DISTRICT: represents an area extending into Idaho to the east with the North slope of the Blue Mountains as
the southern edge then extending west to a roughly north south line from Pendleton to Touchet and straight north from there
to the limits of coverage.
THE WEST END DISTRICT: covers an area bordered on the east by a line roughly from
Touchet to Pendleton then following Highway 395 south and all west with the Oregon border being the north most border.
THE TRI-CITIES DISTRICT: covers all north of the Oregon/Washington border and east to Touchet and all west to the limit
of coverage.
Business related to the SSRA is conducted via a net held every 1st and 3rd Wed. of each month on
146.20/80 at 7:30 PM. All Radio Amateurs are invited to check in.
Technical Director
The Technical Director is appointed by the Officers and Directors. Richard Mesiner N7ZH has filled this all important
postion for many years. He's the man that keeps our equipment running. The SSRA owes Dick a big THANK-YOU on a
continuing basis.

A group of SSRA members on a work party that included installing a new antenna on the tower, adjusting the guy wires
and cleaning up the site. A bank of large batteries is located under the shack. These batteries provide emergency power to
the repeater and will run the repeater for over a week on low power. Note: The repeater sends a code signal "B" if it's on
emergency power. Note: The battery housing had not yet been installed. I'm guessing this was in the late 70's or early 80"s.
