Repeater supporters needed!
If you use the Boonville repeater, please consider becoming a repeater supporter. The club is small, but the repeater covers a wide area. We would like to keep the repeater up and running reliably for regular and emergency use. We need the financial support of all users to do so. Your voluntary "repeater dues" will help to keep this north country communications resource available to all. We really need your support.
