Amateur Radio and Montrouis

Montrouis once hosted an important meeting for amateur radio fans. Amateur radio, also known as "ham radio," is a hobby. People use radio equipment to talk to others around the world. They do this for fun, learning, and sometimes even during emergencies.

A Special Meeting in 1994

In December 1994, Montrouis welcomed the 25th meeting of the International Amateur Radio Permit (IARP) General Assembly. This was a big event for ham radio operators. During this meeting, a new rule was created. This rule made it easier for amateur radio operators to use their radios in other countries. If they had a permit from one IARP member country, they could use it temporarily in another. This helped people connect across borders more easily.
