Membership Level change

You have selected the Guest Membership membership level.

PAPA is much more than a collection of repeaters, antennas, and tower sites. It's the members that make PAPA special. PAPA is a member-supported club. To join, please go to the PAPA System website at www.papasys.com. Your membership dues go to support the maintenance of existing sites as well as System expansion.

The PAPA System welcomes all amateurs to apply for membership, however, we reserve the right to refuse membership to anyone. To join, you must first register on the PAPA System website.
You can join the PAPA System as a Guest for a free 45-day "test drive". At the end of your 45 days, if you wish to continue using the PAPA System, please sign up for a Membership. Of course you may sign up for a Membership at any time before then if you find the PAPA System suits you.
Membership is granted upon payment of dues. Currently, dues are $125 annually. We like to point out that it's a good value, about $10/month, which is less than most people spend on lunch. Members are asked to renew on the anniversary of their initial payment. You can join at any time for a 1-year period or choose an ongoing subscription.
Beyond use of the repeater system, members are listed in the System roster on the website, and able to exclusively access important resources including codeplugs and member bulletins. The PAPA System is a social group, and members often say the best thing they get out of membership is the friendship and camaraderie. We have monthly breakfast/luncheon meetings that are open to members and guests - this is a great time to put faces with voices and maybe win a doorprize! You won't want to miss the annual PAPA picnic in the summer and the PAPA Fiesta in December for members, their guests and family.
Many PAPA Members are accredited Volunteer Examiners and we offer amateur exams at our breakfast and luncheon meetings. When you are ready to upgrade, you can register for a test session online.
On the PAPA System website, you can post announcements, ask questions and stay up-to-date on System activities. PAPA is also on Facebook and Twitter!
When you join, you'll have access to members-only pages, including code plugs. Use the section below to Join PAPA today. Please use your CALLSIGN (UPPER CASE) as your Username. If you pay using the on-line form, your membership payment will be recorded immediately.
Alternatively, you can send a check to:
PAPA System
P. O. Box 373
San Marcos, CA 92079-0373
Please put your callsign and "Membership" on the memo line. Membership is $125/year. If you send a check, please allow several weeks for manual processing.
