Every April 18, radio amateurs worldwide take to the airwaves in celebration of World Amateur Radio Day. It was on that day in 1925 that the International Amateur Radio Union or IARU was formed in Paris by pioneers to support Amateur Radio worldwide.
Just two years later, at the International Radiotelegraph Conference, Amateur Radio gained the harmonically related allocations of the 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, and 10m bands.
Today there is well over 3-million radio amateurs worldwide.
April 18 is the day for all of Amateur Radio to celebrate and tell the world about the science we can help teach, the community service we can
provide and the fun we have. A number of special event stations and at least one World Amateur Radio Day award is also available.
