Important points to remember on this day:


  • Mark Your Calendars! April 18th celebrates World Amateur Radio Day, commemorating the founding of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) in Paris back in 1925.

  • Calling All Tinkerer Talkers: Ever wondered how people communicate without cell towers or satellites? Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, uses radio waves to send messages across impressive distances.

  • Passion, Not Paycheck: Amateur radio operators aren't in it for the money. They're driven by the joy of discovery, the thrill of experimentation, and the chance to give back to the community.

  • Bridging Divides, Building Bonds: Forget language barriers and borders! Amateur radio connects people across the globe, fostering friendships and cultural exchange.

  • When Disaster Strikes, We Connect: During emergencies, when traditional communication systems fail, amateur radio operators become lifelines, carrying crucial messages and keeping communities connected.
