Welcome to QRN!

Based in Southern New England, the Quahog Repeater Network (QRN) is a linked repeater system covering Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.  Repeaters are linked via RF to the 440 MHz network hub in North Providence.

Brief History

QRN was founded in 1986 by Joe-WA1TAQ and Bob-WB1FDY (now a silent key).  Through the 1990s, QRN continued to cover a large portion of Rhode Island with 220 and 440 MHz coverage.

Thanks to the efforts of Bruce-KR1Z, Jed-N1JBC, Jeff-N1ZZN and Rick-W1RJC, QRN was brought back to life in 2012 with the full-time RF linking of seven repeaters across four sites, including the original Newport and North Providence sites.
