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 various 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 as Amateur Radio Week to honor the contributions of amateur radio operators across the nation. The resolution commends these operators for their dedication and service to their communities.
