After Pearl Harbor all U.S. amateur radio stopped and moved

After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, all U.S. amateur radio operations were halted as the country entered World War II. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) suspended amateur radio activities to prevent any potential security risks and ensure radio frequencies were available for military and emergency use. In response, the War Emergency Radio Service (WERS) was established in June 1942, allowing licensed amateur radio operators to contribute to civil defense and emergency communication efforts. WERS provided crucial communication support during air raids, natural disasters, and other emergencies, highlighting the vital role of amateur radio operators in national security and public safety during the war.
