- Promote the passing and sharing of amateur radio knowledge and experiences to other interested amateur radio operators.
- Promote the discovery and enjoyment of amateur radio.
- Turn our learning and sharing efforts into practical working applications.
- To have fun!
Goals -
- To associate with like-minded operators who want to learn, create, build and have fun.
- To increase our own knowledge, operating skills, and techniques and those of other amateur radio operators.
- To get back to creating and building devices and creating applications for amateur radio as did men with the names of Maxim, Tesla, Armstrong, Fleming, and Marconi.
- To associate with amateur radio operators who have the love of amateur radio and with those who yearn to embrace it.
- To associate with those amateur radio operators who want to pass on their wisdom and knowledge of a lifetime to those who so want to learn and do.
- To sustain a knowledge base for the future to not lose past skills and experiences to the march of time.
