CASTRIES, St Lucia: After a long period of dormancy and disorganization, during which even their club house was lost, amateur radio operators in St Lucia are re-grouping and getting their act together again.
Efforts spear-headed by long standing HAM, Lionel Ellis (J6-9KZ) resulted in a series of organisational meetings over the past few months during which the constitution was reviewed and ratified and the Saint Lucia Amateur Radio Club (SLARC) revived.

The new executive has vowed that their key objectives in this period will be to strengthen the Organization by securing training for its members; and to get its due recognition from government as it is expected to provide significant communications support to any disaster response effort in the country.
The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) and The St.Lucia Red Cross have supported the revival of the SLARC and continue to be involved in the reorganisation effort.
