Repeaters are not cheap. EPARS tries to keep both repeaters , nodes, and link radios up and running 24/7. Most of the equipment is bought by a member or two and they allow it to be used on the EPARS site. There are times when repairs or updates are needed  to the system. This can be expensive. If you would like to send the club a couple of dollars, that would be great. Any amount that you can donate is well appreciated. You do not need a Paypal account just follow the instruction after clicking on the donate button below.
 

You can now Join or renew your ARRL membership through EPARS.

It is the Club commission program.

Amateur radio allows individuals to connect across the airwaves to other communities, cities and even countries! Unfortunately, radio equipment can be more costly. Amateur (or the nickname HAM) radio operators can help provide communications in times of disasters or when other communications go down. Radios don’t require an monthly service plan, like cell phones or internet, yet, can provide the same type of communication through texting, emailing, or voice. As an Ham operator, you can even listen to or talk with astronauts on the International Space Station! 

•  We accept Radio and Electronic Equipment Donations
•  Ham radio equipment of deceased or displaced ham radio operators will be put to good use.
•  All donated equipment helps our club maintain the ability to provide emergency radio communications for local government, such as major snow storms , power outages and  disasters.
• We will contact you,  answer any questions and arrange for easy pick up.Thank You !
• Please email donate@eparsonline.org

Membership Form and Dues

EPARS receives all of its financial support from the amateur radio community through the collection of membership dues and donations.  The ability of EPARS to service it’s normal operating expenses and to also develop and promote amateur radio programs in the community is directly proportional to the financial support it receives from individual amateur radio members like yourself.
EPARS not only works to promote amateur radio in the community through its various programs but it also provides actual technology such as both analog and digital repeater systems to its membership and other amateurs of the local community. Again the ability of EPARS to make available these technology services on a regular basis is again also directly proportional to the financial support it receives from amateur radio operators like yourself.
