KICKER: THEY BELIEVE IN BELIZE
PAUL: Are they alive or have they disbanded? Amateur Radio Newsline's
Graham Kemp, VK4BB, has this report on the mystery behind the
disappearance - and the reappearance - of the Belize Amateur Radio Club.
GRAHAM: Where on earth is the Belize Amateur Radio Club? Well, if you
know your geography, you might answer "Central America." Or if an
oldtimer, British Honduras. But if you ask the International Amateur
Radio Union, you'd be told it is nowhere -- it has gone missing for the
last 23 years. In fact, that's what the IARU formally stated in a late
May news release, reporting that a longtime lack of IARU activity from
the club could only be interpreted as its death knell.
But visit the website at barc.bz, and you'll find a different story. A
statement there - along with a link to the club's Facebook page - states
that the Belize group is far from dead. In fact, a news item posted on
the site on May 21, reports that the club was recently certified as an
NGO, a non-governmental organization.
So what's happening? By all reports, it seems the club has been
resurrected. A June 2 posting on its Facebook page declares QUOTE "We are
the new BARC.. there was an old BARC that ceased to exist some time ago."
The statement goes on to say that the new club has actually submitted a
formal application to represent Belize with the IARU in Region 2.
That, it turns out, is just what the IARU is looking for.
Meanwhile, the club seems very full of activity and life. A May 29 posting
on its Facebook page even shares an announcement of a meeting members held
in April - and photos of the group's field trips in May, including one to
the village of Blackman Eddy. It seems that in Belize, where there's life,
there's hope. And ham radio. Belize me!
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Graham Kemp, VK4BB.
