General

CCC consists of two parts: CG/Curacao Group and the PJ2T Radio Club. CG/Curacao Group is the business entity that manages the real estate, and is funded by the owners, by CCC annual Facility Fees payments from members, and from rent revenue.The PJ2T Radio Club is funded entirely by donations from CCC members and other interested folks.

The table below lists the donations that have been made to the PJ2T part of CCC in an attempt to visibly recognize and thank these folks for their support. (Donations to the house, such as dishes, can openers, cookware are not listed here because they are not part of the PJ2T club.)

[If you have made donations that are not listed, PLEASE E-mail W0CG ghoward@kent.edu so that we can correct the error.]
