The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 60, introduced by a group of representatives and cosponsored by several senators, seeks to officially proclaim the week of June 22 to June 28, 2025, as Amateur Radio Week in Wisconsin. This resolution highlights the significant contributions of over 11,000 amateur radio operators in the state, who play a crucial role in providing reliable communication support during emergencies and public service events. It acknowledges the efforts of various amateur radio clubs in promoting technical education, community service, and emergency preparedness.
Furthermore, the resolution recognizes 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 the contributions of amateur radio operators across the nation, and the resolution commends Wisconsin's amateur radio community for their dedication and service.
