    Happy World Amateur Radio Day 2025!

    🎉 Celebrating 100 Years of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU)

    April 18, 2025 marks not only World Amateur Radio Day 🎙, but also the centennial of the IARU—a global voice for radio amateurs since 1925. Over the past century, the IARU has played a vital role in promoting innovation, education, and international collaboration across the amateur radio community.

    As we honor this milestone, let’s also celebrate the spirit of experimentation that continues to unite hams, engineers, educators, and antenna enthusiasts worldwide.
