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>

<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.
