Organizzazione Europea dei Radioamatori

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.

In questo numero troverete:

• Assicurazione Radioamatore: un nuovo servizio globale della EURAO
• Assemblea Generale 2020 dell'EURAO: virtuale il 27 giugno

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.

Because COVID-19, the popular Friedrichshafen HAM RADIO exhibition has been canceled. However, EURAO will hold its General Assembly on the scheduled date: Saturday, June 27, 2020, at 17:00 CEST, albeit virtually.

For this reason, the image of this year's Assembly will be more similar to the picture on the left than the usual group of people around a table. Anyway, the agenda is full of interesting topics to deal with and even the admission of several new member associations.

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.
