• EURAO General Assembly 2023: new members and keep on growing

The General Assembly 2023 of EURAO was held the last Wednesday of June via internet, after a previous contact in Friedrichshafen the weekend before.

The incorporation of a couple of new member associations was approved, one Portuguese and the other Romanian, as well as the financial reports and the budget.

Preparation for WRC-23 has started!

EURAO's presence at the German exhibition last June was dedicated to show up projects and activities with the kids that are just discovering amateur radio benefits, and promote its proposal of: "2024, the year of children and young radio amateurs!".

With this idea in mind, EURAO invites radio amateurs around the world to spend more time setting up projects and offering help to children and young radio amateurs to find out more about our hobby.

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "CQ Walkie-Talkies". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

In this issue you will find:

• EURAO at HAM RADIO exhibition in Friedrichshafen again

The scheduled date for this year's EURAO formal General Assembly is: Wednesday evening, June 28, 2023, at 19:00 CEST (17:00 UTC), that will be held virtually using the Google Meet platform, as in the last editions. Those interested in participating, ask for the link.

However, those attending the HAM RADIO exhibition will have the opportunity for a first live exchange of impressions.

After the worst moments of the pandemic, it is time to return to the German exhibition.

So, EURAO will once again have a booth (A1-994), beside CISAR (A1-990), at HAM RADIO 2023 (June 23-25) to attend members, friends and visitors, listening opinions and sharing experiences.

We are looking forward to your visit!

17 May is the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD).

The theme of this year is: "Empowering the least developed countries through information and communication tech­no­logies".

Invited by ITU, EURAO participated remotely in this event.

ARS, YO9KBZ, founded in 2023, is one of the singular ham radio associations in Romania that develops programs in STEAM education system in order to make the science more attractive for kids. No doubt that ham radio has many domains that can offer curriculum and curiosity to teach more about the waves and electronics.
