Skyview Radio Society Mission Statement

To promote fellowship between amateur radio operators, radio enthusiasts, and the general public.
To assist in public service and emergency services when needed.
To help to bring new people into this honorable hobby. This should include informing, teaching, and examining for a license.
To employ and experiment with the new modes of communications as well as the normal modes.
To maintain a clean and proper clubhouse. A club and clubhouse we can all be proud of.
To promote cooperation with outside clubs and associations to our mutual benefit and the good of the Amateur Radio Service.

These are the elements we aspire to. We will always need to work on some of these, but to do ones best is the main goal. That is all any of us can do.
