The organization uses ARAB as its official international abbreviation, based on the English translation of the organization's name. ARAB operates a QSL bureau for those members who regularly communicate with amateur radio operators in other countries. The ARAB represents the interests of amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners in Bahrain before national and international telecommunications regulatory authorities.[1] ARAB was the national member society representing Bahrain in the International Amateur Radio Union,[2] but in July 2016 the IARU suspended the ARAB's membership following a report that the association is not authorized to represent Bahrain radio amateurs internationally.[3]
