The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "CQ 8m". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.
The scheduled date for this year's EURAO formal General Assembly is: Thursday evening, July 4, 2024, at 18:00 CEST (16:00 UTC), that will be held virtually using the Google Meet platform, as in the last editions. Those interested in participating, ask for the link.
However, those attending the HAM RADIO exhibition will have the opportunity for a first live exchange of impressions the weekend before.
Once again EURAO will be at this European exhibition in Friedrichshafen, Germany, June 28-30, to attend members, friends and visitors, listening opinions and sharing experiences about amateur radio.
As usual, its booth (A1-991) will be beside the CISAR one (A1-990). We are looking forward to your visit!
A few months ago EURAO launched a free campaign to promote its most flexible membership category: Clubs&Groups, and, in return, get some feedback on how to improve its customization to the clubs' requirements.
For this purpose, a few associations were chosen as volunteers for this pilot test. Anyway, the door remains open to other testers, preferably from new countries.
At WRC-23 it was not all just about work, there was also time for networking and several side events were organized to make it easy to know the other participants and reinforce the relationship among them.
One of these events was a trip to the Dubai desert in occasion of the 52nd National Day of the United Arab Emirates, the host country of the WRC-23. There were several traditional shows: camels, falcons, food, drink, a massive dinner and a spectacular sunset.
There, in a more relaxed atmosphere, it was possible to exchange impressions with locals and colleagues.
In this context, it took place the meeting between the EURAO Secretary-General, EA3CIW, and the ITU Secretary-General, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, KD2JTX, from left to right in the picture.
EURAO's delegation was at the World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 in Dubai this month. An interesting experience and one more step in learning how this organization works and what our role should be as members of ITU-R.
Working groups, committees, plenary sessions, country delegations, acronyms, protocols, hallways, coffee breaks, simultaneous translation devices, side events, etc. A whole world to which EURAO is beginning to have access and which it must know how to manage responsibly.
