"Mission Statement”
The Mission of the VERO BEACH AMATEUR RADIO CLUB (VBARC) is to recruit, train and help committed HAM Radio operators carry on the tradition of amateur radio by using our network of technical resources, and expertise to provide equipment, skilled operators and emergency services when called upon by local authorities in time of need to assist and protect the citizens in the communities in which we live and serve.
VBARC members adhere to the Amateur Radio creed, and are considerate, loyal, progressive, friendly, balanced and patriotic. We are proud to provide a service to our citizens, and to that end we have been designated by ARRL as a Special Service Club. This is a club that exists to go above and beyond for their communities, and for Amateur Radio is what defines a Special Service Club (SSC). They are the leaders in their Amateur Radio communities who provide active training classes, publicity programs and actively pursue technical projects and operating activities.
