Bill > AJR60

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 over 11,000 amateur radio operators (often called "hams"). The resolution highlights the critical role these operators play in community service, emergency communication, and technical education. It specifically notes their partnerships with organizations like ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service), which provide essential backup communication during crises when traditional communication systems may fail. The resolution also acknowledges the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the leading national amateur radio organization, which has designated this specific week to honor amateur radio operators across the United States. By recognizing these operators, the resolution emphasizes their importance in maintaining public safety and providing reliable communication support during emergencies and public service events.
