Communicate, Connect & Transmit!
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.
