“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,”
IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, said. “I encourage all radio amateurs
to join in the celebrations and promote Amateur Radio on the air or in
your community.”
Amateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the shortwave spectrum was not the wasteland that experts of the day considered it to be but a resource that 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 notes. Amateur Radio pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support Amateur Radio around the globe, and that effort continues to this day.
