Our Purpose
In section 97.1 of the Amateur Radio Services
rules, the FCC describes the fundamental purpose of the Amateur Radio Service.
The basis and purpose of the Amateur Radio Service include five principles:
- Recognition and enhancement of the value of
the amateur service to the public as a voluntary, noncommercial
communications service, particularly with respect to providing emergency
communications
- Continuation and extension of the amateur's
proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art.
- Encouragement and improvement of the amateur
radio service through the rules which provide for advancing skills in both
the communications and technical phase of the art.
- Expansion of the existing revision with in
the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians and electronics
experts.
- Continuation and extension of the amateur's
unique ability to enhance good will.
This is what the Amateur Radio Emergency Service
(A.R.E.S.) program is all about and what each A.R.E.S. unit strives for in
all its members.
