IARU – International Amateur Radio Union – founded

The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) was founded in Paris on April 18, 1925. The organization was established to advocate for the interests of amateur radio operators worldwide and to coordinate their activities. The IARU works to ensure the protection and availability of radio frequency spectrum for amateur use, representing the amateur radio community in international telecommunications forums and regulatory bodies such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The founding of the IARU marked a significant step in uniting amateur radio operators across different countries, promoting international cooperation, and advancing the science and hobby of amateur radio.
