The Wisconsin State Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 59, which proclaims the week of June 22 to June 28, 2025, as Amateur Radio Week in the state. This resolution recognizes the significant contributions of over 11,000 amateur radio operators, known as "hams," who play a crucial role in providing reliable communication support during emergencies and public service events. The resolution highlights the efforts of amateur radio clubs in Wisconsin that promote technical education, community service, and emergency preparedness.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the partnerships between amateur radio operators and organizations such as the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES), which work alongside local emergency management agencies to ensure effective communication during crises. The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) has designated this week to honor amateur radio operators nationwide, and the resolution commends Wisconsin's amateur radio community for their dedication and service to public safety and community resilience.
