Europejska Organizacja RadioAmatorów

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "novices also exist". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

The European Emergency Communications Exercise held on October 3, was the second edition of this kind of exercices, in which participated hams and SWLs from: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, UK, ...

Some of the participants were volunteers in local sections of organizations like Red Cross. Others transmitted from their radio club stations. But most of them were at home.

Propagation allowed only QSOs on 40m band, not on 20m. But despite that, several messages crossed the continent.

After the great welcome of the previous editions, it comes again the "sprint contest" version of the EANET Award, devoted to the "Radio Clubs of the World". It will be on November 8, 08:00-12:00 UTC.

In just four hours you can win original and funny prizes that you can share with your mate or friends: hotels, restaurants, wellness or adventures.

Moreover, you will have the opportunity to contact those radio clubs you still needed to complete the EANET Award.

The European Emergency Communications Exercise (EECE) is about to practice the exchange of messages between radio amateurs with some fixed data, using a template like this:

Here you are an example of a real message sent in a previous Exercise:

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "climb up to the mountain". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

EURAO recently signed a Letter of Under­standing (LoU) with the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) of the European Con­fe­ren­ce of Postal and Tele­com­munications Ad­mi­nis­tra­tions (CEPT).

Its aim is to cooperate in all Amateur Radio matters.

10th anniversary of EURAO and fourth time attending the exhibition in Friedrichshafen.

Lots of hams to greet and exchange views. Members, yes, but also friends. Some of them old friends of each year. Others just met for the first time. True ham spirit in the air. That's our hobby, that's EURAO.

Let's tell you what happened that weekend...

In the last General Assembly (2015-06-27) a new Board of Directors was elected for a period of two years: President ON4PM, Vicepresident YO9RIJ, Secretary-General EA3CIW and Treasurer EA3CWZ.

Good luck in your job, guys.
