AMSAT News Service Bulletin 103.05 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. April 13, 2003
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-103.05
The theme of this year's IARU World Amateur Radio Day is to be 'Amateur
Radio supporting technology education in the classroom'.
World Amateur Radio Day is marked on the 18th of April each year to
commemorate the anniversary of the founding of the International
Amateur Radio Union on that date in 1925.
Ole Garpestad, LA2RR, the Chairman of IARU Region 1 writes: "There is
no doubt that the future of amateur radio belongs to those that are now
in the classroom. In keeping with this theme, I would like to
encourage every society in the Region to let our young people know that
amateur radio is a unique hobby - simultaneously sport, scientific
study, personal pleasure and collective activity. And that radio
amateurs today are voluntary and selfless researchers in the
technological field of amateur radio, an important resource to every
country, and something to be proud of."
"But the 18th of April is not only a day to think about our future, it
is our day, a day for celebration. All of us, societies and individuals,
can celebrate in our various ways - organizing presentations, club
meetings, parties, honoring senior radio amateurs who go back to the
early years of IARU, or just putting our equipment on the air and making
just a single QSO on this day, so realizing how large our ham community is."
