Europejska Organizacja RadioAmatorów

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.

In a few weeks time, EURAO will be again at its booth (A1-563) of the Europe's No. 1 amateur radio exhibition.

June 26-28 is the appointment. This year also celebrating the 10th anniversary of EURAO, with special activities, in addition to the General Assembly on Saturday, technical meetings, project planning, discussions on strategy, etc. We are ready to go. And you?

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization, together with the Amateur Radio Portable Operators Club , announce a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "have fun, go portable". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

The 6th Emergency Communications National Exercise (ENCE in Spanish) is devoted this year to RoIP: EchoLink, FRN, IRLP, D-Star, Fusion, ...

It will be held on Saturday April 18, 16:00-17:00 UTC, and is open to international participation. A good opportunity for technical experimentation and to practice languages.

In this issue you will find:

• EURAO Parties: one year meeting hams and enjoying radio
• AO3MWC: Mobile World Congress 2015
• DBM: Mining Basins Award

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

After more than a year of parties on the air, one in each season, EURAO looks back and sees five editions of this kind of activities:

• Autumn 2013: make new friends with classical phone
• Winter 2014: promoting HF Digital Voice
• Spring 2014: CW still alive and kicking
• Summer 2014: give youth a chance
• Autumn 2014: be digital, explore 30m

Recently, we found some time to prepare a pretty simple website that shows statistics of past EURAO Parties, mainly because we felt the pressure of received logs (hi hi).
