Why do we do public service?

It is an opportunity as a service organization for us to give back to the community beyond disaster relief operations.
It provides on the job training opprotunities such as mentoring new hams
It introduces hams to operation of equipment and communication modes they have not used previously
It familiarizes hams with our net procedures and other groups' net procedures
It allows - on a small scale - practical use of training received locally and through the ARRL,Red Cross, FEMA, FDEM, CERT, etc
It puts amateur radio operators in the public eye in a positive way. Raises public awareness of amateur radio and gives those who may be interested in the hobby a chance to talk to someone who is involved with it.
