The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "DMR meeting on the air". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.
IARU at last found some time to meet EURAO at Friedrichshafen. In the picture: G3BJ, ON4PM, EA3CIW and VE6SH preparing the first summit of both organisations.
After a pretty hot early summer, sanity was back on track, and what EURAO proposed two years ago: collaboration, it seems to start its way: there will be a meeting in December.
Now is the time to work on the agenda and the topics to be discussed. So comments and proposals are welcome. We will try to include them all, time permitting.
Being all member associations' booths close to each other in HAM RADIO 2017 exhibition was an excellent opportunity to continuously interact, try to find new common projects to carry on and receive feedback to improve old ones.
EURAO, ARR, CISAR, FEDI-EA, FRC, RNRE, URC and VRA were together in the same row: the EURAO Boulevard. In the picture during the General Assembly.
The reaction of Don Beattie, G3BJ, president of IARU Region 1, to the recent statement of EURAO is full of mistakes, half truths and missing facts. So the "context" he offers in his post is biased and incomplete. Let's surface the hidden side.
Recentment, alguns radioaficionats han preguntat a EURAO sobre el paràgraf de més avall, inclòs en les actes de l'última reunió del Comitè Executiu (CE) de la IARU Regió 1, celebrada els dies 5-7 de maig de 2017 a Landshut:
ITEM 16: EURAO
G3BJ va presentar un informe verbal sobre EURAO i la manca de progressos des de la reunió del CE de 2016. Ell havia convidat, fa uns mesos, a EURAO a mantenir una reunió per explorar les estratègies de cadasun i buscar temes d'interès mutu. Lamentablement, EURAO encara no havia respost.
Però aquesta no és tota la història. Per descomptat que EURAO va respondre, però probablement no com esperava G3BJ.
LigaCBR is an Spanish federation founded in 1993 with the aim of supporting and promoting Citizens Band and Amateur Radio clubs and hobby.
LigaCBR is also member of the European CB Federation (ECBF), which in its turn is member of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This is the detailed plan of EURAO Boulevard inside the HAM RADIO exhibition, to be held in Germany this year on 14-16 July. As you can see, in addition to EURAO booth (A1-662), there will be around also booths of the following member associations: RNRE (A1-660), CISAR (A1-666), URC (A1-661), ARR (A1-663), FRC (A1-665) and FEDI-EA (A1-667). Other member associations, like VRA, will be inside EURAO booth attending members, friends and visitors, listening opinions and sharing experiences.
The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "watching SSTV". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.
