    World Amateur Radio Day - Episode #34

    “A Century of Connections: Celebrating 100 years of Amateur Radio Innovation, Community, and Advocacy”.
    Join us on this episode of the Ham Radio Guide Podcast, hosted by Marvin or W0MET, as we celebrate the World Amateur Radio Day. This celebrated day traces its roots back to April 18th of 1925, when the International Amateur Radio Union was established in Paris, with Hiram Percy Maxim, an ARRL co-founder, as its first president.
    In this episode, you will also find interesting tidbits about Marvin's recent visit to the Hiram Percy Maxim W1AW station and the historical elements of the ARRL headquarters in Newington, Connecticut. Celebrating the World Amateur Radio day, we hope you will take part in this innovative sphere and communicate with one another, contributing to the world in your unique way.
