SUMMARY:World Amateur Radio Day 
DESCRIPTION:Brief Description: \n\nDetailed Description: Every April
 18\, radio amateurs worldwide take to the airwaves in celebration of
 World Amateur Radio Day. It was on that day in 1925 that the
 International Amateur Radio Union was formed in Paris.
Amateur Radio
 experimenters were the first to discover that the short wave spectrum ?
 far from being a wasteland ? could support worldwide propagation. In the
 rush to use these shorter wavelengths\, Amateur Radio was ?in grave
 danger of being pushed aside\,? the IARU?s history has noted. Amateur
 Radio pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support
 Amateur Radio worldwide.
Just two years later\, at the International
 Radiotelegraph Conference\, Amateur Radio gained the allocations still
 recognized today ? 160\, 80\, 40\, 20\, and 10 meters.  Since its
 founding\, the IARU has worked tirelessly to defend and expand the
 frequency allocations for Amateur Radio. Thanks to the support of
 enlightened administrations in every part of the globe\, radio amateurs
 are now able to experiment and communicate in frequency bands
 strategically located throughout the radio spectrum.  From the 25
 countries that formed the IARU in 1925\, the IARU has grown to include
 160 member-societies in three regions. IARU Region 1 includes Europe\,
 Africa\, the Middle East\, and Northern Asia. Region 2 covers the
 Americas\, and Region 3 is comprised of Australia\, New Zealand\, the
 Pacific island nations\, and most of Asia. The International
 Telecommunication Union (ITU) has recognized the IARU as representing
 the interests of Amateur Radio.
Today\, Amateur Radio is more popular
 than ever\, with over 3\,000\,000 licensed operators!
World Amateur
 Radio Day is the day when IARU Member-Societies can show our
 capabilities to the public and enjoy global friendship with other
 Amateurs worldwide.
