The idea is just really to cover the bills of the hosting of HamClubOnline and a little something for my time would be nice. Sean AJ6B has been an Amateur Radio Operator since he was 13 and loves giving back to the ham community. Currently there are no plans to charge a fee for the basic services that HamClubOnLine provides.
We do suggest a donation of $1 per user per year to help defray operating expenses, HCOL is operated by K6VEC Amateur Radio Group, Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. There is a donation link at the bottom of the page. You may mail a check to the address for K6VEC in the ULS if you prefer.
