ITU magazine features amateur radio

February 16, 2021 By Dan KB6NU Leave a Comment

The latest issue of ITU News, a publication of the International Telecommunications Union, the organization that regulates wireless communications around the world, is now online. This free downloadable magazine covers World Radio Day and features two articles on amateur radio:

  • Ham radio and emergency comms: Filling the United States Geological Survey ’donut hole’ by Adam Davidson W9AS
  • Why World Amateur Radio Day is key to highlight crucial services by IARU president Tim Ellam VE6SH

There are many other interesting articles, too, including

  • 10 things you didn’t know rely on the ITU Radio Regulations
  • 115 years and counting: ITU Radio Regulations updated

There is also a short history of the ITU and a couple of articles on 5G technology.
