The U.S. Congress, through the Communications Act, created the Amateur Radio Service with the expectation that hams: PROVIDE COMMUNITY, PUBLIC & EMERGENCY SERVICE, CREATE A POOL OF TRAINED COMMUNICATORS & ELECTRONICS EXPERTS, DEVELOP INTERNATIONAL GOODWILL, FURTHER THE ART OF COMMUNICATIONS In fullfillment of our obligations, the Wellington Radio Club: • volunteers at Wellington's Emergency Operations Center,
• maintains the communications equipment at the EOC, • deploys its members to disaster struck regions, • offers a FREE Beginner's Amateur Radio Course, • provides communications for other non-profit groups, • serves at community and non-profit organization events, • owns & maintains two repeaters for public service during emergencies, • conducts the weekly Wellington Emergency Net to train its members, • holds monthly meetings & workshops to advance members' technical skills, and • provides mutual aid to local emergency organizations at their events or facilities. |
Photos and descriptions of the above activities are found in photo galleries, when the event is underlined, or in past editions of the WRC Update Newsletters. They can be downloaded and viewed from the DOWNLOADS & NEWSLETTER PAGE. |
The Wellington Radio Club helps relieve the trauma of lost children and their
parents at large community events... helping to keep the lost child from becoming a missing persons statistic. DOZENS of lost kids & parents have been reunited quickly
as a result of our service. Contact us about providing this service at your non-profit event! |
CHILD ID KITS at Schools, Churches and at Public Events We work with the Village of Wellington, the Sheriffs Office and non-profit groups to provide free ID Kits. WRC volunteers may take childrens' fingerprints &/or fotos or provide the entire kit depending on the event. |
HAMS CAN BE THE "SAINTS" OF THEIR COMMUNITIES THROUGH PUBLIC SERVICE! By the way...Would you deny a tower permit to a saint? |
