Organisation Européenne des Radioamateurs

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "FT8, a brand new mode". 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:

• Assembly, working groups and meetings at EURAO Boulevard
• IARU-EURAO preparatory meeting finally took place

Petrica Stolnicu, YO9RIJ, 43, is the brand new President of EURAO, elected at the last General Assembly for the period 2017-2019. YO9RIJ has been previously Vice-president of EURAO since 2015 and founding Vice-president of ARR.

In this recent interview conducted by the journalist Simona Ungureanu, YO9-0158, you can discover more about him, his career as radio amateur, his interests and objectives.

IARU at last found some time to meet EURAO at Friedrichshafen. In the picture: G3BJ, ON4PM, EA3CIW and VE6SH preparing the first summit of both organisations.

After a pretty hot early summer, sanity was back on track, and what EURAO proposed two years ago: collaboration, it seems to start its way: there will be a meeting in December.

Now is the time to work on the agenda and the topics to be discussed. So comments and proposals are welcome. We will try to include them all, time permitting.

Being all member associations' booths close to each other in HAM RADIO 2017 exhibition was an excellent opportunity to continuously interact, try to find new common projects to carry on and receive feedback to improve old ones.

EURAO, ARR, CISAR, FEDI-EA, FRC, RNRE, URC and VRA were together in the same row: the EURAO Boulevard. In the picture during the General Assembly.

The reaction of Don Beattie, G3BJ, president of IARU Region 1, to the recent statement of EURAO is full of mistakes, half truths and missing facts. So the "context" he offers in his post is biased and incomplete. Let's surface the hidden side.

Récemment, quelques radioamateurs ont questionné l'EURAO au sujet du paragraphe ci-dessous figurant dans le procès-verbal de la dernière réunion de l'IARU Région 1 qui s'est tenue le 5-7 mai 2017, à Landshut:

ITEM 16: EURAO
G3BJ a fait un rapport oral sur l'EURAO et le manque de progrès depuis la réunion ECC de 2016. Il avait invité l'EURAO en réunion il y a quelques mois afin d'explorer les stratégies de chacun et de chercher les points communs. Malheureusement, l'EURAO n’avait pas encore répondu.

Mais ce n'est pas toute l'histoire. Bien sûr que l'EURAO a répondu, mais probablement pas comme G3BJ s'y attendait.

LigaCBR is an Spanish federation founded in 1993 with the aim of supporting and promoting Citizens Band and Amateur Radio clubs and hobby.

LigaCBR is also member of the European CB Federation (ECBF), which in its turn is member of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

This is the detailed plan of EURAO Boulevard inside the HAM RADIO exhibition, to be held in Germany this year on 14-16 July. As you can see, in addition to EURAO booth (A1-662), there will be around also booths of the following member associations: RNRE (A1-660), CISAR (A1-666), URC (A1-661), ARR (A1-663), FRC (A1-665) and FEDI-EA (A1-667). Other member associations, like VRA, will be inside EURAO booth attending members, friends and visitors, listening opinions and sharing experiences.
