Below, reference 97.1(a)
As far as I know, this, or some form of it has always been the main purpose. I
remember going into US Navy radioman school as an amateur operator. We learned
the code, as well as net and traffic handling. It was almost identical to the
old amateur CW traffic nets. I was amazed at how similar the operating
procedures were, it made RM school a breeze.
§97.1 Basis and purpose.
The rules and regulations in this part are designed to provide an amateur radio
service having a fundamental purpose as expressed in the following principles:
(a) Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur service to the
public as a voluntary noncommercial communication service, particularly with
respect to providing emergency communications.
(b) Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to contribute to
the advancement of the radio art.
(c) Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service through rules which
provide for advancing skills in both the communication and technical phases of
the art.
(d) Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of
trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts.
(e) Continuation and extension of the amateur's unique ability to enhance
international goodwill.
