The Belize Amateur Radio Club (BARC), which had been the International Amateur
Radio Union (IARU[1]) member society for that South American county, no longer
exists, according to the IARU. In 1993, the IARU Secretariat[2] had published a
Calendar announcing that BARC was no longer representing Amateur Radio
operators in Belize, and no responses had been received by the International
Secretariat to any communications sent to BARC.
"In fact, no communications have been received by the IARU International
Secretariat or the IARU Region 2 Secretary from anyone associated with the BARC
in the last 23 years," an IARU news release said on May 31. "Based upon this
lack of activity in representing the radio amateurs in Belize and the lack of
any communication from anyone associated with BARC since 1993 and according to
IARU policy, the Secretary of the IARU has determined that the Belize Amateur
Radio Society no longer exists."
The IARU is asking interested Belize Amateur Radio operators interested in
organizing a new association and becoming an IARU member society to apply for
membership through IARU Region 2[3] for inclusion in the next IARU Calendar.
