Historical Overview about IDPD Event

 

During the International Amateur Radio Union Regional 1 General Conference 2023 in Zlatibor, it was decided to change the name to “Program for Disabled Radio Amateurs, PDRA”. The Information Programme for Disabled Radio Amateurs is set up by the General Conference. Its aims are the gathering and circulation of information about:

• organizations for disabled radio amateurs
• special courses and methods for preparing people with disabilities for the examinations required to obtain radio-amateur license
• nets organized by disabled radio amateurs
• details about equipment that was designed for use by amateurs with various disabilities.

The IDPD chair committee at IARU-R1 is Riri OD5RI.
