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 IARUs 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@iaru-r2.org with the information.
