What is International Amateur Radio Day?
RADIO DAY IS A DAY OF INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR RADIO DAY.
Around the world on April 18th, 3,000,000 amateur radio operators are taking to the airwaves to celebrate International Amateur Radio Day.
Throughout the day, Club members, as well as ham radio operators, will be on display and discussing amateur radio. Reviews of the station's operation capabilities and discussing amateur radio operators' interests, public service roles, and club participation will all be included in the discussion, from local parades to natural disasters.
Ham Radio is extremely popular because you don't need a cell phone network or the Internet to communicate, and it's not necessary to use Ham Radio. During a disaster where regular communication channels fail, operators are particularly critical. After their command center was destroyed during the 9/11 disaster, the Amateur Radio Service kept New York City agencies in touch with each other, for example. During Hurricane Katrina, where all other communications failed, Ham radio also came to the rescue.
Amateur Radio experimenters were among the first to discover that the short wave spectrum, rather than being a wasteland, could promote worldwide propagation.
