The International Amateur Radio Union is the worldwide federation of national amateur radio organizations. The IARU provides a forum for common matters of concern to amateur radio operators worldwide and collectively represents these matters to the International Telecommunications Union.
The membership of the IARU is comprised of more than 160 member societies in as many countries and separate territories. In Canada that society is the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC).
The IARU was founded in 1925 and celebrated their 100th anniversary in February of this year so we thought this a good time to mention them. Tim Ellam, VE6SH, currently serves as the president of the IARU.
See the IARU website here for more info on them and their activities on our behalf.
