World Amateur Radio Day - Celebrated every year on April 18, this day marks the founding of the International Amateur Radio Union in 1925.
From early spark-gap transmitters to today’s digital modes, amateur radio has connected people across the globe—long before cell towers and the internet. It’s been there for exploration, experimentation, and when it matters most… communication when everything else fails.
Whether it’s chasing DX, activating parks, or just making that next contact—today we celebrate the operators who keep the airwaves alive.
