According to Borisov, the badge was thought up as a follow-up to Radio Day, 2 May 1945. It was awarded for recognition of outstanding service relaed to any aspect of radios - design, manufacture, use, etc. It was awarded by several People's Kommissariats, and later Ministries, the NKO (defence), NKVMF (navy), NK Signals, NK Electrical Industry and the State Committee of Radiofication of the USSR. It was first awarded in April 1946 and was made at the Moscow Mint.
I have the bronze version which is still a nice badge. Unfortunately, Borisov does not say when they switched from silver to bronze.
