Welcome to hamradio.org!

This is a new site being developed to share the excitement of amateur (“ham”) radio and provide a source of information on this fascinating and rewarding activity.

These pages are under development by the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) which now has responsibility for this website. IARU recently announced that it had been gifted the domain:

IARU Receives Gift of hamradio.org Domain

Andrew J. Wolfram, KI7RYC, has donated the hamradio.org domain to the International Amateur Radio Union for non-profit educational use to promote the amateur and amateur-satellite services.

In accepting the gift IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, said: “The hamradio.org domain offers a unique opportunity for which we are deeply grateful to Andrew. It is our intention to develop a website that can serve as a focal point for anyone, anywhere, who may be seeking information on amateur radio, which is better known as ‘ham radio’ by the general public.”

The IARU is the global federation of national amateur radio organizations with member-societies in more than 160 countries and separate territories. Since its founding in 1925 the IARU has successfully defended and expanded access to the radio spectrum by licensed radio amateurs internationally.
