It
was once mentioned that 'Kansas City is Ham Radio Heaven!'
While many cities or areas have just one Amateur Radio Club or
Organization, the Kansas City Metropolitan Area is home to well
over thirty such clubs and organizations, and all are thriving!
For
a number of years, several of us have thought about creating a
Council of Amateur Radio Organizations from the Kansas City Region
where we might jointly coordinate and focus many of our activities
and efforts. As it turns out, this was not an original idea, and
a similar project was launched in 1987 and was incorporated in
the State of Missouri at that time. For whatever reason, that
first attempt faded away. It is our intent to revive that idea
with a new focus on our intent and purpose. This is our mission
statement:
- -
Coordinate and foster activities, efforts, and points of the
view of the various amateur radio clubs and organizations from
the region.
- -
Coordinate and provide meaningful recognition of individuals
from the region who have made notable contributions to amateur
radio.
-
- Serve as the combined voice for amateur radio on issues affecting
amateur radio within our region.
-
- Create solidarity of purpose, a united voice, and a source
of pride in everything that is the amateur radio community of
our region.
