Exactly most are individuals or ham radio groups of which I’m a member here in CO we contribute funds to help keep these stations open for all hams to use unless they are private. The operators pay for everything, it’s at NO cost to these commie governments, so to me this is all nefarious behavior.
We had a guy leading morse code in our club a few years ago (before the scamdemic). Went about 3 months until unfortunately he's now SK. He would teach us a couple letters, then a few nights a week he'd go on one of the repeaters and send us code using those letters. Unfortunately he passed away pretty quickly, not exactly sure from what, it's been kept a secret, he just said at his last meeting, "I went to the doctor and it's not looking good." -- I still have the straight key he let me borrow, and then his wife gave me this huge, what has to be 1,000lb 1KW amp that is really pretty old. My wife keeps asking me to toss it, but all it needs is a little rebuilding. Not sure it's worth it though, it's hard for me to throw it away as it was something he had stored away as well.
The government doesn't install or maintain amateur radio repeaters, so they can go fuck themselves.
