Basis and Purpose of Ham Radio.
(FCC Part 97.1)
The rules and regulations in this part are designed to
provide an amateur radio service having a fundamental
purpose as expressed in the following principles:
(a) Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur
service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial
communication service, particularly with respect to
providing emergency communications.
(b) Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven
ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art.
(c) Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service
through rules which provide for advancing skills in both the
communication and technical phases of the art.
(d) Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur
radio service of trained operators, technicians, and
electronics experts.
(e) Continuation and extension of the amateur's unique
ability to enhance international goodwill.
ARRL on the Purpose of Amateur Radio
For over 100 years amateur radio and ARRL - the National
Association for Amateur Radio® - have stood for the development
of the science and art of communications, public service, and
the enhancement of international goodwill. Amateur Radio’s long
history and service to the public has solidified the well-earned
reputation that “Amateur Radio saves lives.”
Amateur Radio Operators, due to their history of public service,
their training, and the requirement that they be licensed by
the FCC have earned their status as a component of critical
communications infrastructure and as a reliable resource “when
all else fails."
Amateur Radio is about development of communications and
responsible public service. Its misuse is inconsistent with
its history of service and its statutory charter. ARRL does
not support its misuse for purposes inconsistent with these
values and purposes.
