“That’s why they’re called amateurs.”
Even amateurs can have their equipment breakdowns repaired and/or replaced. Don’t make it a wage, make it a service of the equipment and the operator a volunteer with the privileges of using the equipment for their time. Uncle Sugar gets an emergency operator for the cost of the unit repair when it needs it. And if enough in the area use the tower, they can cover a whole lot of ground in the best interest of everyone. Uncle Sugar can choose the amount and who they work with selecting that or those volunteers depending on the need. And Charlie remains happy with status and knowing what equipment is in the area. Fair trade.

That’s not a bad idea at all.
Thanks.
