Full Memberships $35.00: Available to all licensed amateurs, no geographic restrictions
Family Memberships $55.00: Any combination of two or more Full or Associate memberships all residing at the same physical address.
Allow up to 1 week for your membership record to be updated after you submit your online payment. You can confirm your membership status using the My Member Profile button below.
When making your online payment, be sure to include your call sign (if any) in the space provided.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIMELY PAYMENT OF DUES, PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 30 EACH YEAR.
Important: When you make a renewal payment, you will be given the opportunity to make additional donations in two places:
At the bottom of the membership type selection screen, there is a field for an additional donation to RATS. 100% of this donation goes to our club. A tax receipt will be provided for donations entered here.
Just before entering your payment card details, there is a field for a contribution to Zeffy. None of this donation goes to RATS directly. It funds Zeffy's operations and enables them to provide free services to nonprofits like us, which saves RATS around $200 per year in fees. You can set this to $0.00 if you prefer. To do that, click the dropdown box and select "Other."
You can pay your dues by debit or credit card, or by ACH withdrawal. If you access the payment form using your mobile device, you can use your phone's mobile wallet application. Apple Pay and Google Wallet are supported.
Members who prefer to pay by mail may send a check payable to the Richmond Amateur Telecommunications Society, P.O. Box 70613, Henrico, VA 23255. Allow 3-5 weeks for receipt and processing.
Additional contributions entered in this section will not go directly to RATS.
