World Amateur Radio Day
On April 18, 2012 we will celebrate the World Amateur
Radio Day on the 87th Anniversary of the founding of
the International Amateur Radio Union, IARU. This
year´s theme for the World Amateur Radio Day is
“Amateur Radio Satellites: Celebrating 50 Years in
Space” in remembrance the launching of OSCAR 1 on
December 12, 1961 and the launch of OSCAR 2 on June 2,
1962. For this reason there will be several special
event stations from IARU’s Member Societies active on
different dates during April: 6H6IARU, 3G73IARU and
LZ1WARD. If IARU’s Member Societies plan to have a
special event station for this reason in April let us
now so we can publish the details before the end of
this month. Send us an email to news/at/iaru-r2.org
with the information.
