Европейская Радиолюбительская Организация

17 May is the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD).

The theme of this year is: "Empowering the least developed countries through information and communication tech­no­logies".

Invited by ITU, EURAO participated remotely in this event.

Certainly, EURAO did not attend the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019. Maybe it is too early since it became ITU sector member few months ago. However, it is clear that its irruption on the scene has caused, in the incumbent, the need to give more information and explanations. Or is it just advertising?

Proof of this is the weekly reports issued from the venue, which did not happen for the previous WRC-15. Just check the Google search engine. But, anyway, transparency is always welcome!

Modestly, we are proud of our contribution at European level through the CEPT, where the 2m threat was stopped and the 6m extend promoted.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) admitted EURAO as a sector member in June, just a couple of days before HAM RADIO exhibition, although the official letter arrived later. That's why we were so happy after five years pursuing that goal.

Now Amateur Radio is no longer represented by a single organization. The more the better. Sincere thanks to all members who had believed in this project.
