The aims of the organization are as follows : a) Promotion of close ties and the interchange of ideas and information among North American radio clubs. b) Communications on behalf of North American radi oclubs and the listening hobby with broadcasters , equipment manufactures and dealers, the news media and the general public. c) Establishment of standard which may be adopted by and of individual radio clubs. d) Establishment of resources and support for large-scale-hobby- wide projects. Membership in ANARC is open to radio clubs whose headquaters and principal places of business are located in North America or the Caribbean, with at least 50 members, which have been in operation for at least 12 consecutive months prior to application and publishing bulletins on a regular basis during that period. ANARC presently has 15 full member clubs and one associate member club. ANARC strives to work for the common good of listeners in North America. All the clubs forming ANARC are responsible volunteer organizations. ANARC is operated by a 7 members Executive Council within the guidelines stipulated in the ANARC Constitution. Each member club appoints an official ANARC representative to complete the ANARC staff. This flyer is designed to introduce ANARC, its member clubs, and its services, committees and publications.

COMMITTEES CPRV-The Committee to Preserve Radio Verifications: This committee is a five person group whose goal is to presevre QSL's belonging to hobbyists who are no longer active.
