Be happy having a club to help spread the cost out. I pay $45 a month for electric to sustain two repeaters at one of my sites. In order to keep the site, I had to purchase a chunk of the land and build a building, so now there's real property taxes and maintenance to pay as well. And all the equipment is at my expense.
And there are others I know doing pretty much the same thing. No club -- it's all out of pocket. Like I said, be happy you've got cost sharing.

But these are all the kinds of numbers we are running through right now to figure out the best options. Tony
