Proposal:    Formation of an amateur radio club, and establishment of a club
             station here at Miami University.  The club would be open to all
             licensed hams and anyone else that would be interested.
 
Discussion:  Knowing that amateur radio clubs exist at a large number of
             universities across the country and the world,  I have
wondered why
             one doesn't exist here at Miami.  A little research has shown that
             there a close to 100 licensed ham radio operators here at Miami,
             faculty/staff and student.  There are many more hams here, who
             could not be determined.  I'm sure there a many more individuals
             that have had some interest in amateur radio, and some that would
             like to know more about it.
 
             Many of these clubs at other universities are doing some
             interesting things using the air waves that are also being done on
             the internet.  I believe we have enough talent here at Miami, and
             from preliminary discussion, enough interest to form a viable
             organization that could go a long way toward promoting the ham
             radio hobby and to provide another means for students to develop
             and express themselves.
 
Make a post here with your ideas and what you think about starting a ham radio
club here at Miami.  Or feel free to contact me directly.
