NCRTV will be taking part in a nationwide amateur radio event highlighting our very own Ham Radio station – K3RTV! Join us to celebrate on on April 18th, 2026 from 10:00am – 3:00pm! Free admission, and activities all day!
World Amateur Radio Day, held on April 18 each year, is celebrated worldwide by radio amateurs and the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). It was on this day in 1925 that the IARU was formed in Paris. Join us in celebrating 100 years of IARU!
Our Ham Radio Open House is an exciting opportunity for all community members to get hands-on with ham radio and wireless technology. NCRTV’s Ham Station – K3RTV – will be broadcasting all day long, providing demonstrations to the public, and highlighting some of the unique and interesting ways that amateur radio can intersect with fun and learning! We will also be demonstrating smaller “Handie-Talkies,” discussing the role amateur radio can play in emergency communications and how the SKYWARN Amateur Radio Network assists the National Weather Service!
