2. Providing emergency communications to local non-profit organizations for various local events.
3. Providing the National Weather Service and Erie County EMA with trained and qualified spotters for Erie County ARES-SKYWARN.
4. Continuing and extending the amateur’s proven ability to contribute to the enhancement of the radio art.
5. Enhance international goodwill through better communications between various societies and cultures.
6. Expand the resources of trained amateur radio operators, technicians, and electronic experts.
7. Cooperate with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), Local EMA & Public Safety Officials, and the American Red Cross to provide fixed and mobile emergency communications in times of need and disaster.
