Organisation Européenne des Radioamateurs

Besides greeting members, friends and supporters, this year EURAO held its General Assembly and biannual Meeting during the fair.

The first Statutes were approved and the Board of Directors elected again: President ON7GZ, Vicepresident DG9KBE, Secretary-General EA3CIW and Treasurer EA3CWZ.

It has been time for listening questions, comments and suggestions. New ideas and future projects often start in this way. Also international public relations are cultivated out of the fair, sharing concepts and wishes.

Ready for the next hunting season 2013-2014? Here you are the rules for foxes, hunters and trappers, the new category for SWLs in this fifth edition.

The season will start November 3, 2013 and will end on March 24, 2014. But this summer there is an aperitif: June 9 - August 30.

This is an idea of Jos, ON6WJ, and Johan, ON5EX, to promote QRP activity on the bands. Let's collaborate with them.

This fourth edition of the Emergency Communications National Exercise (ENCE in Spanish) changes the schedule, but not its purpose: to bring an opportunity to all those radio amateurs interested in practicing several useful operational skills.
