World Amateur radio Day 2005 is Monday, 18 April:
The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) and its member-societies
representing more than 150 countries around the globe celebrate World
Amateur Radio Day each year on April 18 to mark the anniversary of the
IARU's founding in 1925. The theme for this year's 80th anniversary
celebration is "Expanding the World of Wireless Communications."
Amateur Radio operators have been the leaders in developing many of today's
electronic and communication marvels. The pioneering work in radio and
electronic technologies early amateurs first explored provided the
groundwork for the nearly ubiquitous "wireless" devices and digital
technology we often take for granted. Many leading electrical engineers have
drawn from their practical experience as Amateur Radio operators in
contributing to the development of modern radio and television technology,
two-way radios, adaptive antennas and many other innovations.
That trend continue as today's radio amateurs explore new frontiers. Amateur
Radio experimenters are finding new ways to use frequencies at the fringes
of the radio spectrum, to merge radio and Internet technology and to
experiment with ultra-high-speed digital communication. Although they're not
compensated, ham radio operators are "amateurs" in name only, because their
skills and contributions to the world have been--and continue to be--of the
highest order.
Since its inception, the IARU has been instrumental in coordinating and
representing Amateur Radio activities around the world. Learn more by

It just goes to show that the arrl has horse blinders on, and continues to support ruining ham radio. Ham radio is electronics experimentation, CW and phone. We need none of the digital crap, nor do we need the arrl. We certainly do not need email/internet over ham radio bands...you guys are absolutely nuts in my view. (arrl) . anyone who supports the arrl is unknowingly putting a nail in his own ham radio coffin. Is it all worth a junkie magazine, or a field day once a year???? not!!!!!!

Experimenting does in fact mean digital modes" if we restricted our activities to comply with NY7Q's comments we would have never developed the many fascinating communuications protocols available today , such as TDMA , CDMA , 802.11 the list is endless

World? As usual "world = USA". In Europe we celebrate this day in September!!! How about a common World Amateur Radio Day, coordinated by IARU?
