Because we have had Amateur Radio for 100 years does it mean that it should
continue?
That is a question being asked, particularly as spectrum hungry users continue
to grow.
In defence of Amateur Radio are arguments that it has evolved into a modern
technological hobby, is easily assessable and enjoyed by people of all walks
of life around the world.
The Wireless Institute of Australia is concerned that missing from the equation
is the relevance of Amateur Radio, or even an awareness that it does exist
in this technological age.
This is why the WIA has initiated the PR4AmateurRadio Expo in April, to showcase
through the clubs or groups of like-minded radio amateurs, to show what we
do, how to understand and perhaps join us.
With the right image Amateur Radio can be attractive to more people - but
first they need to learn what it offers them and its modern-day relevance.
The PR4AmateurRadio Expo is held during April the 11th and 13th. For more
information or to enroll, check out the What's On section of the WIA website.
