To begin with, the WIN SYSTEM is a non-profit, membership supported, linked repeater system.  We invite any  licensed amateur radio operator to join, just please look into our Operating Procedures.  Our system continuously changes, as technology changes, and as the needs and desires of the membership change.  Our main interests, or goals, on the WIN SYSTEM are:

• To have a dependable, top quality, wide area coverage system to communicate with other WIN SYSTEM members, with the best, clearest sounding audio possible;
• Wide area linking, using dedicated full-duplex radio links, again with crystal clear audio;
• Operating and enjoying our Remote Bases, IRLP, and other Win System “Toys”.

The WIN SYSTEM strives to be a  very friendly and helpful group.  We encourage family participation and plan socials and events so that non-amateaur family members will feel welcome.  To endorse that philosophy, other family members can  be included “free” under the primary membership, if they decide to obtain a license.    

 We  believe in enjoying our hobby to the fullest, and the WIN System is our way of doing just that.  To us, the WIN System is literally our “extended family.”  You will find folks of all ages, in all sorts of  professions, with an enormous variety of interests and hobbies.  You will also hear a lot of laughing and good-natured teasing in the group.  We do have a lot of fun on the WIN System.  However, that  is not to say that we don’t have our serious technical discussions, because we often do, and we encourage participation and questions in those discussions, and at all levels on the WIN System.

Our repeaters are “on link” full  time, meaning that they are all inter-connected, or Intertied together.  Any repeater can be controlled from any other repeater down the link.

 As far as the WIN SYSTEM Toys go,  the WIN SYSTEM has a Remote Base located at our  Frazier Mountain (Bakersfield) Site.    The WIN SYSTEM also has the IRLP, or the Internet Radio Linking Project.  This allows the WIN SYSTEM to connect to more than  1,000  Nodes throughout the world.  These  Nodes are connected to repeaters, and we talk with hams literally around the world, on our handie-talkies.  And, there are new Nodes popping up all over.

The WIN SYSTEM has a breakfast every month.  If you live in the L.A area, be sure to check the Calendar for Breakfasts and dinners.  You do not have to be a WIN SYSTEM member to join us.  We also have other socials throughout the  year, all planned with the family in mind.  Check out our Events page for the latest upcomming gatherings.
