And you can register with any LMSC that you like. Some are a little cheaper than others. The drawback is that you will only receive the local communications from that LMSC and not from where you live. So if you register with Alaska, for example, you'll probably receive lots of notices about the upcoming meets in Anchorage!
Also, your money would go to fund any projects in the LMSC you join. Besides paying for the communications that Anna Lea notes, that might include things like subsidizing clinics or coaching development. LMSCs might have different fees based on the services they provide their members, and the size of their membership base.
And let's be clear that the range isn't huge (at least IMO), the middle 50% spanning a range of $5.50, and the maximum fee being $4 more than the average fee in 2010. The main reason I hear about people registering for an LMSC other than the one they reside in is because they moved from another area recently and still want to swim with their old buddies.
