SWR essentially indicates the ratio of forward RF power to reflected RF power in the antenna system.  Click the link to read more.

There has been lots of talk about the new laws in Oregon and Washington about distracted driving and the use of Ham radio.  In Oregon Amateurs are exempted and can operate a radio while driving if they are over 18 years of age. This does not mean that if you are in violation of another traffic law or get in a wreck while using a radio that you cannot be cited for distracted driving.

N7PIR urges amateurs to exercise caution and common sense when using the radio while driving. For more information on the new laws in Oregon please see

We would like to remind everyone that users must ID before, during and after using IRLP.  Please disconnect when finished!  If you wish to use IRLP or Echolink and are not familiar with the process please ask for a control operator and/or review the guidelines page on this website (see link below).  Thank You for supporting good operating practices.

Currently there are two sanctioned Nets operating on the N7PIR system.  All others are guests supported on a first come, first served basis within established priorities.

The Morning Roundtable on IRLP Reflector 9005  -  (Daily 0830-0900)
This group of long-time friends from the Northwest gets together almost every morning from about 0830 until about 0900. They welcome visitors, For more information see N7PIR Nets

The Amateur Television Net  -  (Mondays from 1900-2000)
Each Monday evening the Amateur Television (ATV) group conducts a net at 7PM on the N7PIR system.  ATV Net traffic on N7PIR is sometimes sporadic, but the net is active so please keep in mind that the repeater system is in use during this time to support the net. Please see Nets on N7PIR for more information or to watch the video check out

Happy 2019!  The N7PIR group welcomes all amateurs and requests that users review and follow the operating guidelines for the system. In particular, please remember this is a wide-coverage system with many users so we ask that conversations be kept to a reasonable duration to allow everyone to use the system.
