Well said guys. Any contribution helps defray the cost of repeaters and goes a long way towards personal good will. Offer to provide something. It doesn't always have to be money. Can you help with installation and maintenance? Can you provide FWD transportation to remote sites for personel and equipment? At the very least, become a paid up club member in good standing. It doesn't take much but it takes more than zero.
