Built by a Ham, for Everyone on the Road
Started as one ham's personal tool for finding repeaters on road trips — and grew into something worth sharing. Hams will get the most out of it, but passengers and travelers will find the lodging, music heritage, and scenic route info just as useful. Visit aa4te.com to meet the operator behind the site.
🚗
Works on Any Screen, Anywhere
Designed for a phone on a dashboard mount, a tablet on the passenger seat, or a laptop at the kitchen table while you plan ahead. GPS features kick in automatically when you're on the road — tap a city when you're not. Works offline once loaded, which matters when the signal gets thin in the mountains.
🔓
Free, Independent & Ad-Minimal
No paywalls, no accounts, no tracking. Small tasteful ad placements keep the lights on. We're not going to bombard you — we hate that too.
What We Do
Ham Radio Travel Tools
Built for the road — phone, tablet, or desktop, connected or not. Ham operators get the full picture; passengers and co-pilots will find plenty here too. Tip: if you're using a tablet in the car, your phone can share its internet connection with it — your grandkids can show you how in about 30 seconds, or search "phone hotspot" for your carrier.
🏔

The Station Behind the Site
About This Site

Routersandrepeaters.net is an independent project by a licensed amateur radio operator based in Camden, South Carolina. It started as a personal tool for finding repeaters on road trips and grew into something worth sharing with the broader ham community.

The Blue Ridge Parkway Repeater Finder came first — 469 miles of ridge radio with milepost search, GPS locate, NOAA weather, simplex propagation estimates, lodging, Appalachian music heritage, golden hour times, and more. The Highway Route tools followed, and hamfest planners are next.

Repeater data is sourced from RepeaterBook.com, RadioReference, club websites, and community reports. Always verify frequencies before travel. Found an error, a dead repeater, or a missing one? Please use the contact form — your feedback makes this better.

Want to know who's behind this? Visit aa4te.com — also hosted on the excellent QSL.net free ham hosting network.
