In those times, \u201cshort waves\u201d were barely understood and their commercial use was starting; this threatened the activities that Radio Amateurs had been carrying out for many years. Radio Amateurs needed an organization to coordinate their activities and to have a voice at international conferences.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">The IARU is recognized by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as the representative of the interests of member societies and of Radio Amateurs throughout the world. The IARU is a Member of the Radiocommunications (ITU-R) and Development (ITU-D) Sectors of ITU and participates in the Study Commissions of both sectors.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">The IARU Constitution has been reviewed many times. The present Constitution was approved in 1984 and was modified slightly in 1989. It recognizes three regional organizations that represent the three radio regions defined by ITU for frequency allocation purposes. Each regional organization is autonomous and operates according to its own Constitution.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">For more information about the IARU please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iaru.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/www.iaru.org<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"yiv1593644814gmail_signature\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div><b><span style=\"font-size: large\">Alan Griffin<br \/>\nRAC MarCom Director<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; For immediate release: \u00a0 https:\/\/www.rac.ca\/rac-officials-attending-iaru-r2-general-assembly-in-lima-peru\/ \u00a0 \u00a0 Lima 2019 \u2013 The XX General Assembly of the International Amateur Radio Union\u2019s Region 2 is now underway in Lima, Peru and is being held from September 30 to October 2, 2019. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/2019\/09\/30\/rac-bulletin-rac-officials-are-attending-xx-general-assembly-of-iaru-region-2-in-lima-peru\/\" class=\"read-more\">Read more\u2026 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1469"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1470,"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469\/revisions\/1470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.summersidearc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
