A 5-cent stamp honoring the nations 250,000 Amateur Radio Operators was placed on sale at Anchorage, Alaska on December 15, 1964.

It was in Alaska that the "hams" wrote another chapter in a long public service record by maintaining communications following the Alaska earthquake of 5:36 P.M. on March 27, 1964

The Amateur Radio Commemorative Stamp, Scott #1260, was released on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the American Radio Relay League.
