Membership
The MARA membership is actually made up two member groups. The first group is a small group of " OPERATING
MEMBERS
" that have installed the repeater systems and keep them operating. Most of the original amateur radio
operators that formed MARA over 30 years ago are still part of the "operating membership". These people are the
"behind the scenes" persons who keep this large repeater system operating.  No one person can keep this
system operating, as it is too wide spread.  

The second membership group is the MARA "
SUPPORTING MEMBERS " that provide the ideas and inputs to the
"operating members" on what they want the MARA repeater systems to do and with their financial support allow
the "operating members" to keep the repeater system operating as it is now or to add new features.  If extra
money is available, the new features that the supporting members would like to see can be added.
Your donation
to the MARA makes you one of the "SUPPORTING MEMBERS"
.  We are always looking for new people to add to
the “Operating membership”. More technical persons are being looked for.   


You can contact the board members with your comments and suggestions on the air, or by sending a card,
email, or letter to the address above.

Some people have asked what does it cost to operate the MARA Repeater System?



Power and Rent for Sites $1,710.00
Expenses and Repairs $1,160.00
Total Expenses $2,870.00


NOTE: The "Total Expenses" just keep the system operating with very minimal repairs.
If there are any "Major Failures" like a lightning strike at a site, the "Total Expenses" could increase significantly.
