Welcome to blog.bigdaytomorrow.online, the official blog and community platform for the Association Des Radioamateurs Et Des Amateurs Radio De L’Archipel (ARARA). While our main domain, bigdaytomorrow.online, serves as the central hub for our non-profit charity organization, this subdomain is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and informative space for all things related to amateur radio, emergency communications, and community engagement within the archipelago. Here, we aim to share knowledge, experiences, and insights, building a stronger, more connected community, all while directly supporting the crucial work of ARARA.
Our Purpose: Education, Connection, and Impact
At its core, blog.bigdaytomorrow.online serves multiple vital purposes. Firstly, it is an educational resource. We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to the intricate world of radio communication. Whether you’re a seasoned radio amateur, a curious newcomer, or simply interested in how emergency communication systems work, our blog will offer a wealth of information. From technical guides and project showcases to historical insights and regulatory updates, we strive to demystify the complexities of radio and make it accessible to everyone. Our aim is to foster continuous learning, encourage experimentation, and elevate the collective expertise of our community.
Secondly, this subdomain is a platform for connection. Radio, by its very nature, is about connecting people across distances. Our blog extends this principle into the digital realm. We envision a space where members of the ARARA community, and indeed anyone with an interest, can come together to share their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in meaningful discussions. We encourage contributions from our members – your stories, your projects, your unique perspectives are what will make this blog truly thrive. Through shared experiences and collaborative learning, we can build a stronger, more cohesive community that supports one another and advances the art and science of radio.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, blog.bigdaytomorrow.online is an extension of our charitable mission. Every piece of content, every interaction, and every visitor to this site contributes to a greater cause. We are deeply committed to ensuring that our efforts here translate directly into tangible support for the Association Des Radioamateurs Et Des Amateurs Radio De L’Archipel.
The Association Des Radioamateurs Et Des Amateurs Radio De L’Archipel (ARARA): Our Parent Organization
To fully understand the essence of blog.bigdaytomorrow.online, it’s important to grasp the foundational principles and objectives of our parent organization, ARARA. Operating under the main domain bigdaytomorrow.online, ARARA is a registered non-profit charity organization dedicated to promoting, supporting, and advancing amateur radio and emergency radio services within our archipelago.
Our mission is multifaceted. We work tirelessly to:
- Promote Amateur Radio: Encourage interest and participation in amateur radio as a hobby, a technical pursuit, and a valuable community service. We organize events, workshops, and licensing courses to attract new enthusiasts and provide ongoing support for existing operators.
- Enhance Emergency Communications: Develop and maintain robust emergency communication capabilities. In times of natural disaster or other crises, traditional communication infrastructure can fail. Amateur radio operators, with their independent and resilient networks, play a critical role in providing vital communication links for emergency responders and affected communities. ARARA actively trains volunteers, conducts drills, and invests in equipment to ensure our readiness.
- Facilitate Community Service: Utilize the skills and resources of our radio amateurs for various community service initiatives. This can range from providing communication support for public events to assisting in search and rescue operations.
- Advocate for Radio Amateurs: Represent the interests of radio amateurs at local, national, and international levels, ensuring fair access to spectrum and advocating for policies that support the growth and development of the hobby.
- Foster Technical Innovation: Encourage experimentation and innovation in radio technology. Amateur radio has historically been a hotbed of technological advancement, and ARARA strives to continue this tradition by supporting research, development, and the sharing of technical knowledge.
ARARA is powered by the passion and dedication of its volunteers. We believe in the power of collective action and the immense value that amateur radio brings to our society, particularly in enhancing resilience and preparedness.
Our Commitment to Transparency and Impact: 100% Donation Pledge
We understand that trust is paramount, especially when it comes to supporting a charitable organization. This is why we want to be absolutely clear and transparent about the financial model of blog.bigdaytomorrow.online.
We proudly state that 100% of any earnings generated from this subdomain will be directly donated to the charity funds of the Association Des Radioamateurs Et Des Amateurs Radio De L’Archipel.
This commitment means that every single penny, every cent that this blog might generate – whether through advertising, affiliate partnerships, or any other potential revenue stream we might explore in the future – will go directly towards funding ARARA’s charitable activities. There are no administrative fees, no overhead deductions, and no profits taken by any individual or entity associated with the blog. It all goes straight to supporting the vital work of ARARA.
Our primary goal with this blog is not to generate substantial income, but rather to serve as an information hub and community builder. However, should opportunities arise to monetize certain aspects in a way that aligns with our values and enhances the user experience, we want our community to know that their engagement will have a direct and positive impact on our charitable mission. For example, if we were to feature an affiliate link for a radio equipment supplier, and a purchase was made through that link, 100% of the commission received would be transferred to ARARA’s charity funds. This ensures that even passive engagement with our content can become a direct contribution to our cause.
We are committed to maintaining full transparency regarding any earnings and their transfer to ARARA. We will periodically publish reports or updates on our main domain, bigdaytomorrow.online, detailing how these funds are utilized to further our mission, such as purchasing new emergency communication equipment, funding training programs, or supporting community outreach initiatives.
