On World Amateur Radio Day, the National Council of Telecommunications (CONATEL) of Haiti has lauded the invaluable contributions of radio amateurs to the nation's communication infrastructure. This recognition underscores the vital role these individuals and their networks play, particularly in times of crisis and disaster, providing essential communication links when conventional systems fail.

CONATEL acknowledges that the work of radio amateurs is not merely a hobby but a critical component of national resilience. The organization has actively supported this sector by providing training to over fifty radio amateurs and is currently working to establish its own amateur radio station. This initiative aims to deepen CONATEL's understanding of the challenges and intricacies involved, thereby enhancing the expertise of its trained personnel.
