  World Amateur Radio Day

Every April 18, radio amateurs worldwide take to the airwaves in 
celebration of World Amateur Radio Day. It was on this day in 1925 that 
the International Amateur Radio Union was formed in Paris.

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.

Just two years later, at the International Radiotelegraph Conference, 
Amateur Radio gained the allocations still recognized today — 160, 80, 
40, 20, and 10 meters. Since its founding, the IARU has worked 
tirelessly to defend and expand the frequency allocations for Amateur 
Radio. Thanks to the support of enlightened administrations in every 
part of the globe, radio amateurs are now able to experiment and 
communicate in frequency bands strategically located throughout the 
radio spectrum. From the 25 countries that formed the IARU in 1925, the 
IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies in three regions. IARU 
Region 1 includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Northern Asia. 
Region 2 covers the Americas, and Region 3 is comprised of Australia, 
New Zealand, the Pacific island nations, and most of Asia. The 
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has recognized the IARU as 
representing the interests of Amateur Radio.

Today, Amateur Radio is more popular than ever, with more than 3,000,000 
licensed operators!

World Amateur Radio Day is the day when IARU Member-Societies can show 
our capabilities to the public and enjoy global friendship with other 
Amateurs worldwide.

*Special Theme for World Amateur Radio Day 2021 Announced*

The IARU Administrative Council has chosen “Amateur Radio: Home but 
Never Alone” as the theme for World Amateur Radio Day, Sunday, 18 April 
2021. Faced with a pandemic that forced the adoption of extreme physical 
isolation to reduce the spread of the virus, the worldwide amateur radio 
community responded positively to overcome the resulting social 
isolation. In the days and weeks following the onset of the pandemic 
radio amateurs reached out spontaneously to one another via the airwaves 
at the local, national, and global levels. Local “wellness nets” 
provided friendly voices and regular status checks to those, especially 
the elderly, who are confined to their homes. “Stay safe” special event 
stations in dozens of countries reminded us all of the importance of 
limiting the spread of the virus. On-the-air activity was at an 
unprecedented level throughout the remainder of 2020, with 
record-breaking numbers of entries in the major contests.

While the development of effective vaccines offers hope for a return to 
some semblance of normality later in 2021, the pandemic will still be 
with us when we mark World Amateur Radio Day 2021. This theme offers the 
opportunity for our member-societies to tailor meaningful messages to 
the general public about the values of the global amateur radio community.

We have provided a poster for World Amateur Radio Day. Any club may 
download it and use it to promote WARD in their area. The poster comes 
in two sizes: 61cm x 91cm 
<https://www.iaru.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/61x91.pdf> and a small 
(A4) flyer. <https://www.iaru.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/a4.pdf>

Groups should promote their WARD activity on social media by using the 
hashtag #WorldAmateurRadioDay 
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/WorldAmateurRadioDay> on Twitter and 
Facebook. IARU will list all WARD activities on this page 
<https://www.iaru.org/on-the-air/world-amateur-radio-day/>. To have your 
WARD activity listed, send an email to IARU Secretary 
<mailto:secretary at iaru.org> David Sumner, K1ZZ*.*

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.

We hope you will join in the fun and education that is World Amateur 
Radio Day!

The theme for 2020 is :

*/“Celebrating Amateur Radio’s Contribution to Society.”/*

On April 18, 1925, the IARU was formed in Paris, with ARRL cofounder 
Hiram Percy Maxim, 1AW, in attendance.
Radio amateurs were the first to discover that shortwave spectrum could 
support worldwide propagation,
and in the rush to use these shorter wavelengths, amateur radio found 
itself “in grave danger of being
pushed aside,” as IARU history puts it. Two years later, at the 
International Radiotelegraph Conference,
amateur radio gained allocations still recognized today — 160, 80, 40, 
20, and 10 meters. From an initial
25 countries, the IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies in 
three regions.

World Amateur Radio Day is not a contest but an opportunity to talk 
about the value of amateur radio to the
public and our fellow amateur colleagues. It is also a great opportunity 
to talk about your club and amateur
radio in local media.

In this time of social isolation, amateur radio continues to remain 
relevant in bringing people together.
“Social distancing” has long been a positive practice in the hobby by 
bringing people together culturally
through radio while providing essential communication in the service of 
communities.
