ARRL Ham Radio Open House On April 18th

Momentum is building for ARRL’s Ham Radio Open House — an amateur radio event for clubs to put their most technological foot forward and show the public the true modern state of amateur radio. The events will be held in April, on or close to World Amateur Radio Day (WARD) on April 18, across the United States. This year’s WARD commemorates 100 years of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).

The participation goal is 50 clubs from 50 states, but the more the merrier. ARRL is working with Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) and SciStarter to promote the event as part of April, which is Citizen Science Month.

“We’ve had a lot of clubs express interest and commitment to be a part of Ham Radio Open House,” said ARRL Public Relations and Outreach Manager Sierra Harrop, W5DX. “Thanks to some great volunteer outreach efforts, clubs are seeing the value of showing off the true current state of amateur radio,” she said.
