For the purpose of organizing area amateur radio operators to prepare for emergencies and to reinstitute severe weather reporting by amateur radio in the coalition coverage area. Generally the greater Portage to Montello area. In recent times the coalitions mission has condensed into the airing of news and bulletins of general interest to the amateur radio operator.
