Des Moines GMRS Radio Club: Building Connections, Supporting the Community
Fellow operators,
As our community of GMRS enthusiasts continues to grow, we’re introducing a paid membership program to help sustain and expand the Des Moines GMRS Radio Club. This change ensures that we have the resources needed to maintain and improve our infrastructure, cover operating costs, and keep our systems—servers, repeaters, and equipment—running reliably for everyone who depends on them.
Why Paid Membership Matters
Every membership fee directly supports:
- Maintenance of club infrastructure, including repeaters and server resources
- Upgrades to critical equipment ensuring clear, dependable communication
- Operational costs like hosting and technical services
Member Benefits
As a paid member, you’ll gain access to exclusive club resources, including:
- Duplexer tuning, equipment configuration, and programming services to help you get the most from your gear
- A personalized club email — e.g.,
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. — representing your part in our growing community - Priority access to technical help and training opportunities
Community Involvement
Beyond the airwaves, our mission is about connection — not just between radios, but between people. Paid members help make possible our community events, training days, and public outreach efforts, where we introduce others to GMRS, promote emergency preparedness, and serve our neighbors. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected Des Moines Metro — one signal and one neighbor at a time.
Join us in strengthening our network and community.
Your membership isn’t just a fee — it’s an investment in the future of local communication and camaraderie.
Des Moines GMRS Radio Club — powered by community, united by signal.
