Relating to: proclaiming the week of June 22 to June 28, 2025, as Amateur Radio Week in the state of Wisconsin.
SJR 59 is a ceremonial resolution that proclaims June 22-28, 2025, as "Amateur Radio Week" in Wisconsin. It recognizes over 11,000 amateur radio operators (commonly called "hams") for their emergency communication support through groups like ARES and RACES, which assist during crises when traditional systems fail. The resolution commends these volunteers for their community service and technical education efforts, aligning with a national Amateur Radio Week designation by the American Radio Relay League.
