Join ARRL In Celebrating America’s 250th - On The Air!
|
In 2026, ARRL is commemorating America’s 250th birthday with a yearlong on-the-air celebration: the America250 Worked All States (WAS) Award. Running from January 1 through December 31, this special operating event challenges amateurs of all license classes to contact all 50 US states and confirm those QSOs via ARRL’s Logbook of The World (LoTW - https://lotw.arrl.org/lotwuser/default).
Modeled after the classic WAS Award, America250 WAS encourages activity across nearly every band - from LF through microwaves - and on CW, phone, and digital, culminating in a commemorative, frame-worthy WAS certificate. |

Participants can pursue America250 WAS in many ways, with endorsements recognizing achievements by band, by mode, Triple Play (all three modes), by satellite, by contacting ARRL Affiliated Club Stations in all 50 states, and by contacting W1AW/portable in all 50 states.
Throughout 2026, the iconic W1AW call sign will be “loaned” to stations nationwide, activating each state twice during the year. All confirmations are handled through LoTW, making it easy to track progress and apply for awards and endorsements.
Operations begin 0000z on Wednesday, and end on 2359z Tuesday (7 days total for each activation).

ARRL is calling on all radio amateurs and GRMS licensees to join our nationwide grassroots campaign to pass the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act.
|
ARRL has made it very easy to send your letters to Congress. Hams should go to https://send-a-letter.org/HOA and GMRS users should go to https://send-a-letter.org/GMRS. The letters will automatically be sent to your elected officials encouraging them to support the bipartisan bills. Passage would give amateur radio operators the same rights to install antennas on their property as those enjoyed by users of TV antennas, wireless internet, and flagpoles. Radio clubs should also prepare letters of support, signed by each club officer. See instructions for clubs (PDF) and a sample letter for clubs (DOCX). |
