In December 1947, the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA) was founded to honor and bring together amateur radio operators who had been licensed for 25 years or more. The QCWA aimed to recognize the achievements and contributions of veteran hams, promote fellowship among its members, and encourage the preservation of the history and traditions of amateur radio. The association quickly grew, establishing local chapters and organizing events and activities that celebrated the legacy and ongoing contributions of long-time amateur radio operators. The QCWA continues to play a vital role in connecting seasoned hams, fostering community, and supporting the amateur radio hobby.
