World Amateur Radio Day

The ARRL report *World Amateur Radio Day 2016* will celebrate Amateur
Radio’s contribution to society

World Amateur Radio Day (WARD), observed every April 18, marks the founding
of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) in 1925.

As they do every year, radio amateurs worldwide will take to the airwaves
to celebrate Amateur Radio’s contribution to society.

“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,� the IARU said in announcing World Amateur
Radio Day 2016. “We hope you will join in the fun and education that is
World Amateur Radio Day!�

Amateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the short wave
spectrum — far from being a wasteland — could support worldwide
propagation. 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 pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support
Amateur Radio worldwide. From the 25 countries that formed the IARU in
1925, the IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies.

Today, Amateur Radio is more popular than ever, with over 3,000,000
licensed operators! World Amateur Radio Day is the occasion when IARU
member societies can demonstrate Amateur Radio’s capabilities to the public
and enjoy global friendship.

The IARU has provided a World Amateur Radio Day poster. Any club may
download it to promote WARD. The poster comes in two sizes (61cm x 91cm)
(small (A4) flyer) available at
http://www.iaru.org/world-amateur-radio-day.html

Groups should promote their WARD activity on social media by using the hash
tag #WARD2016 on Twitter and on Facebook.
