Hauser Peak

Hauser Peak is home to a notable amateur radio repeater located in Palmdale, California. Operating on a frequency of 146.730- MHz with a PL tone of 100.0 Hz, this repeater serves as a vital communication hub for local amateur radio enthusiasts. Positioned at a high elevation, it offers excellent coverage across the Antelope Valley, Highway 14, and beyond, ensuring reliable communication for hams in the region. The repeater is maintained by dedicated volunteers who ensure its optimal performance, supporting various activities such as emergency communications, public service events, and casual conversations among amateur radio operators.

The Hauser Peak repeater has become a cornerstone of the local amateur radio community, fostering a sense of camaraderie and collaboration. Regular nets are held by The Antelope Valley Amateur Radio Club on this repeater, providing opportunities for operators to check in, share information, and practice their communication skills. The repeater's robust infrastructure and strategic location make it an indispensable resource during emergencies, where it can facilitate vital communications when other systems might fail.
