Donors, Supporters and Sponsors of PNW |
PNW DMR is a
regional association of individuals
who, in part, provide the repeaters,
networking and ongoing costs to keep
this network operational.
This page is meant to publically
acknowledge those individuals,
groups and businesses who are actively
supported the PNW network growth and
maintenance. Our
repeater owners are the moving force
behind our regional growth and
honestly, they go beyond that by
donating here as well. Individual support efforts by our
users is welcome and will be memorialized here
also.
Typically only 5% of a club's
members voluntarily support a club's
efforts when there is no dues
structure in place, so those who do
so voluntarily go above and beyond
and
are listed below because they merit
acknowledgment. If you
feel inclined to actively support PNW DMR, we
suggest a nominal $25 annual donation, less than 1
Starbuck's drip coffee a month.
A typical
repeater deployment at a commercial
site costs $3,500 to
$5,000 just in material costs.
Then factor in site rent and Internet
can add
another $700-$1,250 in annual ongoing
costs. There are countless
hours for planning, trips, tower
climbers as well as maintenance and
tweaks after the initial
installations. Some
installations have 5 hour one-way
drives. Some repeater owners
never use their own repeaters as
they are located too far away from
thier home areas.
All of this is a significant
investment by a very few dedicated
repeater owners who bare most of the
costs for our community repeater
growth and
network expansion.
For those who do not actively
support PNW, please make an effort
to seek out your repeater owners and
others listed on this page and
extend to them your appreciation for
their dedication to help maintain
and expand DMR coverage in our
region.
