Technically, the 146.94 repeater is not owned nor operated by BVARC... It is licensed to the old Pasadena Radio Relay League which was started back in the late 1960s or early '70s when the repeater originally came on the air... Even though it's still under a club call it is technically owned by an individual who is the trustee of the call sign on the repeater.. too bad it can't get its old WR5ABX call back... I wish I could get my old WR5AOK call back BVARC only uses the 146.94 rptr as it's home channel.Chris WB5ITTTrustee/owner W5APX system 146.94 BPT and 146.88 LCHand soon 146.96 Devers, all 100HzSent via my Samsung Galaxy S10e, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone..so there! 😂 -------- Original message --------From: David Lira via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Date: 1/13/24 11:18 AM (GMT-06:00) To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: David Lira <k5db...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] How many members support BVARC ? I personally don't have much interest in attending meetings or banquets as that is not why I joined the club. I joined because I used the 146.94 repeater and met some nice folks who I wanted to meet, learn from and attend pota events with all of which I have done. As a side note one member benefit I've genuinely enjoyed is the monthly newsletter, kudos to whomever publishes it.If I was a non member I would be inclined to navigate to the bvarc website and donate to the 146.94 repeater and pota funds directly. After all it is possible to financially support the infrastructure without joining the club. Everyone has their individual reasons for joining or not, I however chose to join and donate.
