We're raising $100,000 to accelerate statewide backbone deployments with partners already on board and major tower and first-responder expansions in progress. Your one-time or recurring gift helps us get there.
Donations are private. We do not publish donor names or gift amounts. You can also choose anonymous at checkout on Zeffy. This is a working budget. Lines will shift as sites and partners firm up, but the priorities stay the same. Sierra Electronics, High Sierra Communications, the U.S. Forest Service, and BLM field offices in Carson, Tonopah, Las Vegas, and Caliente are working with us today, with more announcements coming. We're also in talks for major deployments across Nevada involving large tower builds and first-responder and emergency-management coordination. Northern Nevada microwave and radio sites, including Peavine Peak backbone space. Ridge-to-ridge relay sites across the region, with additional co-location in progress. Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest co-location at Peavine Peak, with fee exemptions after mission and 501(c)(3) review. Rights of way and range testing across Carson District peaks. Central Nevada site coordination and rural basin coverage planning. Southern Nevada site candidacy and Mojave corridor planning. Eastern Nevada surveys and Lincoln County backbone tie-ins. See everyone on the partners page. Goodies ship after checkout completes. Repeater naming and sponsor perks are coordinated by email, only if you want them. Whether you give once or set up a monthly or annual gift, you are helping us buy gear, file permits, get teams to remote ridges, and keep volunteers supported. Questions?
