Organização Europeia de Radioamadores

At the proposal of its Board, the EURAO Assembly decided to support the M17 project with a modest donation.

This project, based on open-source Codec 2, aims to define a new digital voice (DV) mode for VHF and higher bands.

From countries all over Europe and even from other continents, the EURAO booth has received a lot of visitors, some of them already members, but others were new ones interested in knowing more about our Organization and its benefits, especially for small Clubs&Groups. Other interesting contacts have also been made, which we expect to see the results soon.

In this article we will try to answer the most frequently asked questions that visitors have asked us and provide links to the brochures that we have published in various languages.

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!

EURAO's presence at the German exhibition last June was dedicated to show up projects and activities with the kids that are just discovering amateur radio benefits, and promote its proposal of: "2024, the year of children and young radio amateurs!".

With this idea in mind, EURAO invites radio amateurs around the world to spend more time setting up projects and offering help to children and young radio amateurs to find out more about our hobby.

After the worst moments of the pandemic, it is time to return to the German exhibition.

So, EURAO will once again have a booth (A1-994), beside CISAR (A1-990), at HAM RADIO 2023 (June 23-25) to attend members, friends and visitors, listening opinions and sharing experiences.

We are looking forward to your visit!

A União Internacional das Telecomunicações (UIT) admitiu a EURAO como membro do sector em Junho, apenas dois dias antes da exposição HAM RADIO, embora a carta oficial tenha chegado mais tarde. É por isso que ficamos tão felizes depois de cinco anos perseguindo esse objetivo.

Agora, o Radioamadorismo não mais é representado por uma única organização. Quanto mais melhor. Sinceros agradecimentos a todos os membros que acreditaram neste projeto.

The president of REF, F5DJL, visited the EURAO booth at HAM RADIO 2019 and met its Secretary-General, EA3CIW, who, a week before, had sent an email offering support and collaboration in the 144-146 MHz affair before French Administration.

Let's keep in mind that current EURAO HQ is in France.

Both exchanged views and concerns and agreed on the importance of addressing this issue with diligence and trying the maximum consensus.

HAM RADIO 2019 em Friedrichshafen ainda é o melhor ponto de encontro para os radioamadores europeus e a EURAO estava lá para manter contato com seus membros e amigos, contatar outras entidades e realizar sua Assembleia Geral.

A Assembleia decorreu muito bem e todas as questões foram aprovadas por unanimidade, incluindo uma estratégia comum para lidar com a ameaça na faixa de 144-146 MHz. Vários novos projetos foram discutidos e iniciados.

No próximo ano, esperamos vê-lo entre 26 e 28 de junho de 2020.

On Saturday, June 22, at its booth A1-696 in the Friedrichshafen exhibition, the members of EURAO will meet again to discuss about the past, the present and especially the future of the organization, its projects and its next objectives. All of you are invited to attend this event.

Meeting once a year in Friedrichshafen is a real pleasure and the opportunity to listen others' ideas, share experiences and discuss about common issues. So we did, but instead of waiting in the booth, the president went to the middle of the fair.

Other activities, such as the EURAO's General Assembly and the ID-CCS7 workshop of DR@F for French operators, took place in the booth.

Next year we will see there in June 21-23, 2019.
