Dear reader,

Thank you for using Club Log; it's here for everyone interested in DX to enjoy. Club Log is free in two important ways: it's free of charge and free of commercial pressure such as advertising. Despite this, Club Log is run as much as possible on a professional footing. This is achieved through financial support that is given without any obligation. No-one is required to pay to use Club Log, so that everyone can enjoy it equally.

There are two main areas of cost: equipment costs for the servers, and running costs for the hosting and electricity.

Club Log's equipment costs have been covered with significant donations by DX foundations. The running costs are all paid by Club Log users who choose to donate. Just 1% of Club Log's users make a donation each year — please consider becoming one of them!

Equipment costs

Club Log runs on two high-performance Intel servers. A new primary server was purchased in October 2019 at a cost of £8,500 (approximately $11,000). Additional parts costing £2,000 were also purchased. This considerable expense was generously funded by the following foundations:

£3,000	£3,000	£2,000	£838

Existing computer equipment was also upgraded to extend its useful life, as a secondary server that can pick up the full load of Club Log to cover any interruption to the operation of the primary server. One-off costs to refurbish the secondary server were generously donated by the following DX clubs:

£500	£500	£390	£162	£100	£75

Please show your appreciation for these amazing organisations by becoming a member!

A star symbol ★ is displayed next to the callsign of donors. When you see that star next to a callsign in Club Log, that person has kept Club Log online in the last 12 months. Please thank them on the air!

The donations highlighted with an orange star ★ are more than twice the average donation amount (currently, this is £40 or more, which is an exceptionally generous level of support). These VIPs have made an extraordinary gift: they are the top-flight sponsors of Club Log!
