The '''Telsiz ve Radyo Amatörleri Cemiyeti''' ('''TRAC''') (in [[English language|English]], '''Wireless and Radio Amateur Society''') is a national [[non-profit organization]] for [[amateur radio]] enthusiasts in [[Turkey]]. The organization was founded in 1962 as the '''Türkiye Radyo Amatörleri Cemiyeti''', adopting its current name in 1980. With its headquarters located in [[Istanbul]], TRAC has branches in 46 locations across Turkey. TRAC is the national member society representing Turkey in the [[International Amateur Radio Union]].<ref name="iaru">International Amateur Radio Union (2008). [http://www.iaru.org/iaru-soc.html "Member Societies"]. Retrieved Aug. 1, 2008.</ref> |
|||
== History == |
|||
Due to the difficulties related to the existing government regulations at that time, the organization initially focused on [[electronics]] training. TRAC published a monthly electronics [[magazine]], which became a reference journal in Turkey for those who wanted to learn about electronics. The magazine was recommended by the Ministry of Education as a learning aid. |
|||
TRAC began [[lobbying]] the government for amateur radio regulations two years after its formation. Two attempts to establish an amateur radio service in Turkey were made in 1964 and again in 1966. Joint proposals by the Ministry of Defence, TRAC, and the Electric Engineers' Association, these efforts to change the existing law found their way to a [[Grand National Assembly of Turkey|parliament]]ary commission but were never put into the legislative agenda. Amateur radio regulations were finally established in 1983 with the passage of the Wireless Act. Historically, Turkey has suffered major [[natural disaster]]s in which many have perished. Amateur radio's crucial importance and efficiency in establishing [[amateur radio emergency communications|emergency communications]] during disasters and emergencies was cited as a main reason for establishing an active amateur radio service in Turkey. |
|||
== Activity == |
|||
Key membership benefits of TRAC include the sponsorship of [[amateur radio operating award]]s and radio [[contesting|contests]], and a [[QSL card|QSL]] bureau for those members who regularly communicate with [[amateur radio operator]]s in other countries. TRAC represents the interests of Turkish amateur radio operators before Turkish and international telecommunications regulatory authorities.<ref name="trac">Telsiz ve Radyo Amatörleri Cemiyeti (2008).
