The Cactus Intertie System? is an amateur radio closed, private system consisting of a large number of remote base stations / 440 MHz repeaters interconnected with full-duplex links. SARBA currently has 87 members.

This is a Saguaro cactus.
It is also known as a
"big darn cactus."
Pronounced sa - hw?r - oh.

"I love California; I practically grew up in Phoenix."

-- (Former) Vice President Dan Quayle

SARBA sponsors 8 radios, which cover a large part of  Arizona, parts of New Mexico, and parts of Utah. The radios are owned, built, and maintained by SARBA and it's membership.

The flagship radio of SARBA is the RF Blowtorch of Central Arizona, the "WA7KUM Remote" from Pinal Peak. This radio creates an ozone hole over the thriving metropolis of Globe / Miami / Claypool. 

SARBA sites provide coverage in the Phoenix metro area; Central Arizona; Safford; Payson; Showlow-Pinetop / Lakeside and the White Mountains; Flagstaff / Mogollon Rim; Prescott / Verde Valley and Page.
