history
The SRR was founded in 1992 as an all-Russian public not-for-profit company . It is a member of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU Region 1), the international association of amateur radio associations, and represents the interests of Russian radio amateurs there.
It supports its members and promotes their activities. This includes radio sports such as “fox hunts” ( orienteering combined with amateur radio darts ), disaster risk management , technical creativity and, last but not least, promoting social contacts between young and old.
Radio pioneer Alexander Stepanowitsch Popow (1859–1906) and the Soviet polar explorer Ernst Theodorowitsch Krenkel (1903–1971) with his callsign RAEM are among the venerated forefathers of Russian amateur radio .
