The association was founded by 13 regional clubs with nearly 1500 members nationally, for which the objective is to preserve the "true ham spirit" and the free exchange of QSL cards. UARL is the national member society representing Ukraine in the European Radio Amateurs' Organization. The group's office is in the village of St. Peter and Paul Borschagivka, St. Cathedral (formerly Lenin).
