           The Club requests that a $30 US PayPal donation made to kb9kri@hotmail  as well as submitting a scanned , signed, copy or your license to kb9kri@hotmail.com

      Licensed amateurs requesting to use the Alpha 87a 1500 watt Amplifier and Palstar AT-Auto tuner are requested to made an Additional $50 US PayPal donation. ($80 US total for all)

           Due to the amount of money our members have invested in the purchase and operation of the station, we regret that we cannot offer transmitting and amplifier use for free. We do, however, make it available to any person in the world to listen in and tune the radio at NO COST, unlike many remote base stations that prohibit GUESTS.

 

     Many amateurs write to us asking to Transmit, so we finally decided to adopt a policy to let users decide.

 

   When told of the above policy, they often switch to being rude and argue that radio should not cost anything.   

 

   With over $12,000 US invested, tower rental, monthly utility bills, maintenance to our equipment, antennas, lines, and upgrades, we can struggle along with out your financial support if need be, but we would welcome your support!

 

    Outside the USA? with the cheap dollar against the euro, this is a deal! Have you priced an Alpha amplifier lately? If there is enough support, we hope to purchase and erect a SteppIR Dream Antenna.

 

     In return, you get to operate a first class station using the newest equipment with antennas mounted at 350 feet. Your $30 donation helps, and we appreciate it!

 

     Are you are one of the few amateurs that still think that you should get to use and transmit on our station for free - at no cost because you were lucky enough to get 71% correct answers on a multiple choice amateur test and everything should be free for amateurs??

 

     We do have provisions to accommodate your request.

 

 Just provide directions to your home QTH station and let us come over and operate your radio station equipment for 2 days. (Friday, Sat.) Yes, it's that easy!

     I have accumulated many free airline tickets and Hotel rooms and will travel to your country, state, and city. I'll stay in a hotel. Before I leave, I'll set you up with an account and you save $$. Then you can use ours... Fair enough??

 

After you make payment with PayPal to kb9kri@hotmail.com, you will receive your user name and password account information within 24 hours.

 

We also monitor IP address to check if a different IP address is using an account.

 

    Only requests that meet the above criteria will be considered, sorry...
