European Radio Amateurs' Organization

The European Emergency Communications Exercise (EECE) is about to practice the exchange of messages between radio amateurs with some fixed data, using a template like this:

Before every Exercise, download the previous template and print several copies in order to be ready to listen and write down messages.

Here you are an example of a real message sent in a previous Exercise:

EURAO calls for this kind of exercise for the second time, now on October 3, 9:00-11:00 CEST (07:00-09:00 UTC).

The main goal is to practice the skills needed to exchange messages, with an specific pattern, between hams in different countries.

The frequencies to be used are: on 40m (7.110 KHz) and on 20m (14.300 KHz), both in SSB. The language: English.

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

EURAO recently signed a Letter of Under­standing (LoU) with the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) of the European Con­fe­ren­ce of Postal and Tele­com­munications Ad­mi­nis­tra­tions (CEPT).

Its aim is to cooperate in all Amateur Radio matters.

10th anniversary of EURAO and fourth time attending the exhibition in Friedrichshafen.

Lots of hams to greet and exchange views. Members, yes, but also friends. Some of them old friends of each year. Others just met for the first time. True ham spirit in the air. That's our hobby, that's EURAO.

Let's tell you what happened that weekend...

In the last General Assembly (2015-06-27) a new Board of Directors was elected for a period of two years: President ON4PM, Vicepresident YO9RIJ, Secretary-General EA3CIW and Treasurer EA3CWZ.

Good luck in your job, guys.
