                      BLUEGRASS AMATEUR RADIO CLUB (BARS)

The BARS club is soliciting contributions to enable replacement of hard line
and an antenna on the 146.760 repeater. The weather and age has taken it's
toll and the repeater has had very limited range for several years. It has
been an essential link for emergency operations and community projects
throughout the years and needs to be restored for reliable communications.
All donations are tax deductible. If anyone can point to a commercial
benefactor, all information will remain confidential unless otherwise
requested. About $4000 is still needed.

Please contact JB, WA4WWH, 859-266-0841
