Europäische Organisation der Funkamateure

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.

Certainly, EURAO did not attend the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019. Maybe it is too early since it became ITU sector member few months ago. However, it is clear that its irruption on the scene has caused, in the incumbent, the need to give more information and explanations. Or is it just advertising?

Proof of this is the weekly reports issued from the venue, which did not happen for the previous WRC-15. Just check the Google search engine. But, anyway, transparency is always welcome!

Modestly, we are proud of our contribution at European level through the CEPT, where the 2m threat was stopped and the 6m extend promoted.

Die Internationale Fernmeldeunion (ITU) hat EURAO im Juni, nur wenige Tage vor der HAM RADIO, als Sektormitglied aufgenommen, obwohl die offizielle Mitteilung erst später eintraf. Diese Nachricht hat uns hoch erfreut nachdem wir dieses Ziel fünf Jahren verfolgt haben.

Jetzt wird der Amateurfunk nicht mehr von einer einzigen Organisation vertreten. Je mehr es sind, desto besser. Unser aufrichtiger Dank gilt allen Mitgliedern, die an dieses Projekt geglaubt haben.
