We had people email and ask us how donations for the repeater are
going to be used. Well, we have creatd this page to provide some
information to that fact. Below, you will find how the funds will be used if we were to purchase the repeater system as quoted, but as most people know, we may be able to find some items for less, maybe here locally so as to not have shipping, the prices may have increased do to fuel cost, etc.
This pricing below is for a quote on a complete systm that we have contacted a company about buying. Do to our needs and time frame, this is the simplest way for us to get a repeater on the air.
