The International Amateur Radio Club "(IARC)" maintains and operates the amateur radio station 4U1ITU at the International Telecommunications Union building in Geneva, Switzerland. Intended to serve as a model of amateur radio operation, the station was created under the auspices of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunications Union "(ITU)".
In many radio contests, amateur radio operators are allowed to consider the International Telecommunications Union station 4U1ITU a special entity and because of its significance to world telecommunications and it is given similar status to a separate country when making a radio contact. No other UN location is given this honor.
