A Little History

The original and main site for JPARA is Jack's Peak, located on the Continental Divide at an elevation of 7,985', midway between Lordsburg and Silver City. Jack's Peak provides coverage of most of the Southwest quadrant of New Mexico, including Interstate 10 from mile marker 350 in Arizona to mile marker 120 in New Mexico. As an affiliate of the Cactus Intertie, JPARA operates a UHF Auxiliary station with UHF point to point links to other Auxiliary stations in NM, AZ and TX. A synthesized 2 Meter remote base is also part of the JPARA operation at Jack's Peak.


JPARA also hosts three 2 Meter repeater stations offering connection to the following systems.


145.17 is a Open repeater with a full time connection to the Mega-Link which covers all of New Mexico.

145.21 is a full time connection to the EAARS Network which covers all of Central and Southeastern Arizona.

145.25 is an open repeater with IRLP and EchoLink capabilities.
