Why the Monitoring System is of great importance

The role of the IARU Monitoring System (IARUMS) — monitoring the amateur bands to search and identify transmissions sent by intruders — is important because the amount of all kind of intruders is rapidly growing!

A number of national Monitoring Coordinators and volunteers have been watching our bands for many years. But more needs to be done to raise awareness of societies and countries where there no national monitoring team exists . Also, existing groups can still help by sharing detailed information worldwide with others. Monitoring is Teamwork!
