TF3WARD on-the-air for World Amateur Radio Day

To celebrate International Radio Amateur Day on Saturday 18th April 2020, the Icelandic Radio Amateurs (IRA) will keep up with the day by activating for the first time, the company's new call sign, TF3WARD (World Amateur Radio Day). The IRA will thus follow in the footsteps of its sister organisations in the Nordic countries (and around the world), which operate this month every year, a special WARD callsign.
