Organisation Européenne des Radioamateurs

With a participation, in one way or another, of 80%, the General Assembly 2020 of EURAO was held last Saturday, June 27, via internet.

Of course, it is not the same as face-to-face meetings, but, as long as we have COVID-19 around, virtual meetings are the best solution with the least risk. Our radio-gastronomy section will have to wait a little while... hi hi.

This month EURAO launches a new global service: the Radio Amateur Insurance.

The purpose of this insurance, with a coverage of 9.000.000 EUR, is to guarantee the pecuniary consequences of the civil liability incumbent on the insured due to consequential bodily, material and immaterial damage caused to third parties as a result of their radio amateur activities, including travel, and events organized by the subscriber, including assembly and disassembly operations.

This means, translated to our activity, a plus of relief when we do radio outside our QTH, either on the beach, in the countryside, in a park or in the mountains, as in the case of field days or SOTA.

NRSI has been founded in 2020 to provide representation for all amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners within Ireland who want it. Its membership is open to anyone with an interest in amateur radio communications, who is either a full-time resident or who has in the past spent a minimum of two months in Ireland as a visitor.

NRSI became member association of EURAO to share ham spirit with other similar entities around the world.

Dans ce numéro, vous trouverez:

• Assurance Radioamateur: un nouveau service global de l'EURAO
• Assemblée Générale de l'EURAO 2020: virtuellement le 27 juin

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "take care of your ham friends". Remember this is not a contest, it is just (maybe) a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

En raison de COVID-19, la populaire exposition HAM RADIO de Friedrichshafen a été annulée. Cependant, EURAO tiendra son Assemblée Générale à la date prévue: samedi 27 juin 2020, à 17h00 CEST, quoique virtuellement.

Pour cette raison, l’image de l’Assemblée de cette année sera plus similaire à l’image à gauche que le groupe habituel de personnes autour d’une table. Quoi qu’il en soit, l’agenda regorge de sujets intéressants à traiter et même de l’admission de plusieurs nouvelles associations membres.

Dear members and friends,

More than ever, we're witnessing an evolution of ham radio around the world. COVID-19 is just another catalyst that forces us to think wider than before, adaptive and think about changing seriously.
