NOTE:  Have you ever considered much about, "Who and what, is Saltgrass?" It's largely the work, effort (and expense) of a couple of guys, mostly known by the rest of us as "the two Steves". There is no "membership requirement" for using Saltgrass... instead, it operates as one of the nicest parts of the "stuff" about "Amateur Radio". The repeaters and links we all use, are made up of radios, hard line, antennas and hardware, that all cost money.... and of course, insurance premiums. Some equipment is donated, which greatly helps... but have you thought about the fuel expenses (now surpassing $4 a gallon), incurred, in order to make a trip out to one of the remote sites? It's easy for the rest of us, to take such expenses for granted... because, it's unlikely you may have ever heard the subject brought by "the two Steves". 

Many of those using the Saltgrass System have minimum personal resources... and the "nice part" of Amateur Radio is, we know there are many such as yourself... and you are still... and will always be welcome on the system. If you and the many others like you, could offer whatever amount you are capable of offering, without question... the "two Steves" would graciously appreciate it.

"Saltgrass" does not have a "bank account"... and thus if you could make your personal donation, in care of:

                                                                          "Steven T. Agee" ( N5ZUA )

                                                                           14419 Briarhills Parkway

                                                                           Houston, Texas  77077

I'd also like to mention that the "idea" of soliciting "donations" did not come from the "two Steves"... but from one of the system's most modest users, who will remain anonymous... probably because he'd like it that way...
