This award
is conferred upon an amateur or amateurs who demonstrate devotion to human
welfare, peace and international understanding through Amateur Radio. The
League established the annual prize to recognize those radio amateurs who have
used ham radio to provide extraordinary service to others in times of crisis or
disaster.
As one of
the few telecommunication services that allow people throughout the world from
all walks of life to meet and talk with each other, Amateur Radio spreads
goodwill across political boundaries. The ARRL International Humanitarian Award
recognizes the Amateur Radio Service’s unique role in international
communication and the assistance amateurs regularly provide to people in need.
