Bill > SJR59

This resolution proclaims the week of June 22 to June 28, 2025, as Amateur Radio Week in Wisconsin, recognizing the significant contributions of the state's approximately 11,000 amateur radio operators (often called "hams"). The resolution highlights the critical role these operators play in emergency communications and community service, noting their partnerships with organizations like ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service), which provide backup communication during crises when traditional communication systems are unavailable. The resolution also acknowledges the amateur radio clubs in Wisconsin for promoting technical education, community service, and emergency preparedness, and aligns with the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL) national designation of this specific week to honor amateur radio operators across the United States.
