The Benton County Radio Operators (BCRO) purpose
is to encourage innovation in amateur radio, provide public service and
educational opportunities, foster good will, and have to fun.
Although the main purpose of Amateur Radio is
fun, it is called the "Amateur Radio Service" because it also has a serious
face. The FCC created this "Service" to fill the need for a pool of experts
who could provide backup emergency communications. In addition, the FCC
acknowledged the ability of the hobby to advance the communication and
technical skills of radio, and to enhance goodwill. This philosophy has paid
off. Countless lives have been saved where skilled hobbyists act as
emergency communicators to render aid, whether it's during an earthquake in
Italy or a hurricane in the U.S.
Please join us and help make this wonderful
hobby even better. We would be happy to see you at one of our
meetings, or talk to you on the air.
