American Radio Relay League |

ARRL is the national membership association for Amateur Radio operators.
The seed for Amateur Radio was planted in the 1890s, when Guglielmo
Marconi began his experiments in wireless telegraphy. Soon he was
joined by dozens, then hundreds, of others who were enthusiastic
about sending and receiving messages through the air--some with
a commercial interest, but others solely out of a love for this
new communications medium. The United States government began licensing
Amateur Radio operators in 1912.
By 1914, there were thousands of Amateur Radio operators--hams--in
the United States. Hiram Percy Maxim, a leading Hartford, Connecticut,
inventor and industrialist saw the need for an organization to band
together this fledgling group of radio experimenters. In May 1914
he founded the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) to meet that need.
Today ARRL, with approximately 163,000 members, is the largest organization
of radio amateurs in the United States. The ARRL is a not-for-profit
organization that:
• promotes interest in Amateur Radio communications and experimentation
• represents US radio amateurs in legislative matters, and
• maintains fraternalism and a high standard of conduct among
Amateur Radio operators.
At ARRL headquarters in the Hartford suburb of Newington, a staff
of 120 helps serve the needs of members. ARRL is also International
Secretariat for the International Amateur Radio Union, which is
made up of similar societies in 150 countries around the world. |
