• EURAO at HAM RADIO 2019 and its General Assembly

Die Internationale Fernmeldeunion (ITU) hat EURAO im Juni, nur wenige Tage vor der HAM RADIO, als Sektormitglied aufgenommen, obwohl die offizielle Mitteilung erst später eintraf. Diese Nachricht hat uns hoch erfreut nachdem wir dieses Ziel fünf Jahren verfolgt haben.

Jetzt wird der Amateurfunk nicht mehr von einer einzigen Organisation vertreten. Je mehr es sind, desto besser. Unser aufrichtiger Dank gilt allen Mitgliedern, die an dieses Projekt geglaubt haben.

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.

Friedrichshafen is still the best meeting place for European radio amateurs and EURAO was there to keep in touch with its members and friends, contact other entities and hold its General Assembly.

The Assembly was very fine and all issues were approved unanimously, including a common strategy to address the threat over the 144-146 MHz band. Several new projects were discussed and kicked off.

Next year we hope to see you there in June 26-28, 2020.
