Operators HB9WARD wanted!
On April 18, 1925, the IARU (International Amateur Radio Union) was founded. Every year this event is honored worldwide with the World Amateur Radio Day. The USKA and Swiss radio amateurs do this by activating the association call sign HB9WARD on this day. The operation is done by interested operators – individuals or groups and clubs – from their respective locations. If during the activations even outsiders can be informed and motivated to amateur radio, all the better.
