Have great fellowships, makes friends, learn new things, whether your special event is a large one or a small one its all about celebrating amateur radio. This special event is put on to bring people together, celebrate and explore the world of amateur radio. Now that I have my own Echolink Conference, the ROC-HAM, The special event now has a permanent home, where I will continue doing what I started in 2015. It’s almost time to mark the 97th anniversary of the formation of The International Amateur Radio Union in Paris in 1925.įor the History of the IARU please visit: Ĭome by the original WORLD AMATEUR RADIO DAY Celebration that started in 2015, I came up with an idea to recognize World Amateur Radio Day that no one else came up with while I was a net controller on another echolink conference and after leaving that conference it was moved to another echolink conference where it was welcomed with open arms and since 2015 the event has grown 10 fold. No matter where WORLD AMATEUR RADIO DAY is celebrated, be part of something that’s bigger than all of us.
The IARU Administrative Council has chosen “Celebrating Amateur Radio’s Contribution to Society” as the theme for World Amateur Radio Day, Monday, 18 April 2022.
Theme for World Amateur Radio Day 2022 Announced World Amateur Radio Day is the day when IARU Member-Societies can show our capabilities to the public and enjoy global friendship with other Amateurs worldwide.
Today, Amateur Radio is more popular than ever, with more than 3,000,000 licensed operators! The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has recognized the IARU as representing the interests of Amateur Radio. Region 2 covers the Americas, and Region 3 is comprised of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific island nations, and most of Asia. IARU Region 1 includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Northern Asia. From the 25 countries that formed the IARU in 1925, the IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies in three regions. Thanks to the support of enlightened administrations in every part of the globe, radio amateurs are now able to experiment and communicate in frequency bands strategically located throughout the radio spectrum. Since its founding, the IARU has worked tirelessly to defend and expand the frequency allocations for Amateur Radio. Just two years later, at the International Radiotelegraph Conference, Amateur Radio gained the allocations still recognized today - 160, 80, 40, 20, and 10 meters. Amateur Radio pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support Amateur Radio worldwide. In the rush to use these shorter wavelengths, Amateur Radio was “in grave danger of being pushed aside,” the IARU’s history has noted. Amateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the short wave spectrum - far from being a wasteland - could support worldwide propagation.
