While ARRL supports Amateur Radio at the national level, the bulk of the work -- in public service,
promoting Amateur Radio, peer support and just good fellowship -- occurs in the more than 2000 radio
clubs around the country. For some 70 years now, the ARRL has sought to affiliate with itself worthy and well qualified, organized, noncommercial Amateur Radio groups or societies of kindred aims and purposes. Doing so allows these clubs to draw on ARRL's resources and allows ARRL to stay aware of activities at the local level, information we can use when defending Amateur Radio's interests. The result is stronger clubs, a stronger ARRL and a stronger Amateur Radio. |
