Amateur Radio organizations have been important from the earliest days of radio communications. In the early days, there was a very pragmatic reason for this. Amateur radio stations did not have a very wide range, so messages would often have to be relayed from one station to another to get where they were going. This need would lead to the formation of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), one of the first nation-wide organizations for amateur radio.
National amateur radio organizations, such as the ARRL, have grown since those early days and now serve a number of functions, including:
- lobby legislators in government on behalf of amateur radio,
- help in training new amateur radio operators,
- publish books and magazines aimed at helping amateur radio operators learn about radio technology,
- sponsors amateur radio contests,
- and conducts many other functions.
Local amateur radio clubs are also important to the service. They
- help newcomers to get started by teaching formal license classes and providing informal mentoring;
- provide emergency communications when disasters occur and public-service communications for events, such as parades and bike tours;
- provide a focal point for projects that may require more than one operator, such as the set up and maintenance of a repeater station;
- encourage camaraderie amongst amateur radio operators in a community.
