The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) and its member societies representing more than 150 countries around the world will celebrate World Amateur Radio Day on April 18, 2007. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Amateur Radio: Allowing youth to connect the world.”Despite the Internet and cellular phone, Amateur Radio continues to attract people world-wide by providing free international communications and friendships. Because it does not need pre-established supporting infrastructure, Amateur Radio reaches into every corner of the world — and even into space.
