In celebration of World Amateur Radio Day, the Dorchester Amateur Radio Team (DART) will host a special Ham Radio Open House on Friday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Emergency Operations Center (212 Deming Way, Summerville).
There will be hands-on demonstrations and opportunities to speak with local ham radio leaders and first responders. Admission is at no cost.
This event will be celebrated by all amateur radio operators nationwide. World Amateur Radio Day, held on April 18 each year, is celebrated worldwide by radio amateurs and their national associations which are organized as member-societies of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). It was on this day in 1925 that the IARU was formed in Paris. American Radio Relay League Co-Founder Hiram Percy Maxim was its first president. A major theme for 2025 is celebrating 100 years of IARU.
