First International Radio Telegraph Conference in DC

The First International Radio Telegraph Conference was held in Washington, D.C., in 1927. This significant gathering brought together representatives from numerous countries to discuss and establish international regulations and standards for radio communication. The conference aimed to address the growing complexities and challenges of managing the global radio spectrum, ensuring efficient and interference-free communication across borders. One of the key outcomes was the establishment of international agreements on frequency allocations, operating procedures, and the recognition of amateur radio as a distinct service. The agreements reached during this conference laid the foundation for subsequent international cooperation and regulation in the field of radio communication, contributing to more organized and effective global radio operations.
