Ham radio stream donations in Georgia

Viewers often want you to jump to a specific frequency, reach a distant station, or repeat a call attempt. A donation moves that request to the front of the line, and you pick the next attempt by the donor's wish.

On Donator a listener pays by card without registering, so asking you to swing the rig over to 20 metres and funding the antenna happen in one move.

If propagation opens a DX window mid-session, a donor requesting that band jumps the queue, which turns a fleeting skip into a shared hunt for the rare contact.

The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source, and you place it in a screen corner so the contact log, the frequency readout, and the rig shot stay free.

While catching a contact on air, the alert appears briefly and does not cover the audio, so a weak signal is still heard and viewers still notice a donation.

During a pileup, the brief on-screen alert fits naturally between your transmit cycles, so you can acknowledge a donor without losing your place in the queue.

A ham radio community naturally reaches beyond borders. Because payment works with any card, Georgian or foreign, a Georgian in the diaspora backs the session just as easily as a local viewer.

An antenna, a transceiver, and gear all cost money, and a donation is direct support for that cost, with no registration.

Operators from dozens of DXCC entities already tune in to hear a 4L callsign. Donating to support the session feels as natural to them as sending a QSL card after a contact.

What listeners give toward coax, a new transceiver or a mast reaches a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, directly in GEL, with no currency conversion and no foreign wallet.

Built in Georgia and an official partner of TBC and Bank of Georgia, Donator takes 3% platform fee from what your operating fund collects between activations.

For SOTA or field activations where every trip means fresh batteries, coax runs, and portable antenna parts, receiving the full donated amount without a platform cut makes budgeting for the next summit predictable.

Many streamers start with DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, because those are the names people type when they search for an OBS donation alert, a donation page, or an alternative to a foreign tool. StreamElements often shows up in the same shortlist.

In Georgia those products are often built for other markets: foreign wallets, awkward withdrawals, or fees that never land cleanly in GEL. Patreon and PayPal still fit some creator formats, but they do not always replace live stream donations with payout to a Georgian bank.

Donator is built so a viewer can pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, the alert can show in OBS right away, and the money settles in GEL to TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, you can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
