The Boundary Amateur Radio Club (BARC) maintains the W7BFI repeater in Boundary County, Idaho. The club promotes amateur radio through nets, training, and community support, and partners with the North Idaho Repeater Group to connect operators across northern Idaho, northeastern Washington, and southeastern British Columbia.

This project gives the club the equipment it needs to provide reliable communication support during emergencies and community activities. Planned purchases include updated radios, a portable unit for field use, and improvements to the main repeater, ensuring the club can assist fire crews, hospital staff, and local events when called upon.
