A COMMUNITY PROJECT NEEDS COMMUNITY PLACES
Your location could
make a difference.
Have a rooftop, silo, tower or elevated property? A useful place could help neighbors connect. You can offer a location without knowing how to build a radio.
YOU BRING THE PLACE
A better view.
A chance to connect.
Height can help a small radio hear past nearby obstacles. We start with a general area and a conversation about access, power and permission—not a public pin on your property.
Four ways to help
A useful location
Let us evaluate a safe place for a repeater. Ownership or permission matters more than technical experience.
Internet and a place to listen
Host an Observer that contributes online network visibility.
Equipment funding
Sponsor an agreed, itemized equipment build or contribute toward one.
Time or practical skills
Help with field tests, documentation, introductions, assembly or community outreach.
What makes a promising site
A useful view
Height above nearby obstructions, a clear radio path and a practical antenna location. Rooftops, silos, existing towers and elevated land can all be worth evaluating.
A workable arrangement
Permission, safe access, reliable power or suitable solar exposure, and an agreed maintenance contact. An Observer also needs Internet; a basic RF repeater does not.
What happens after an introduction
- A private conversation. Start with a general area and site type. Exact location details are requested privately only if needed.
- A practical review. Discuss access, permission, mounting restrictions, power, radio conditions and any building requirements.
- A written scope. Agree who owns the equipment, who pays, who maintains it, and how it can be removed.
- A small test before a promise. Evaluate the site, then decide whether a permanent installation is worthwhile.
Offering a site is not a commitment to buy equipment or allow an installation. We do not list an organization as a host until it has agreed.
Sponsorship without the soldering iron
You can fund useful equipment without assembling or operating it. Before any contribution, we’ll identify the exact build, the intended host, the full cost and who will maintain it. No payment is collected by this website, and no charitable tax status is claimed.
