This summer, the European Radio Amateurs' Organization asked its members and supporters to imagine the future and share with us.

The future of the Organization but also the future of Amateur Radio.

The tool used was a poll and the results are the following.

How many countries have you already contacted or listened? How many of them in Europe? To get this Award is as easy as answering these two questions.

For the basic version of EURAO Award only 10 countries are required, 7 of them European ones. For the bronze, silver or gold version; you will need 25, 50 or 75 countries.

QSL cards received via EuroBureauQSL will be considered automatically sufficient evidence of confirmation, otherwise, you should use one of our check points. Also eQSL is accepted.

FeRaCat was founded in 2013, just before the approval of the first Statutes of EURAO, achieving in this way the status of founder member.

On August 2, 3 and 4, 2013, the following Special Event Stations will be on air: AM1CB, AM2CB, AM3CB, AM4CB, AM5CB, AM6CB, AM7CB, AM8CB and AM9CB.

It will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the first Citizen Band regulations in Spain.

A special QSL card and Award will be available.

The activity is sponsored by: Liga Española de Asociaciones C.B. y Radioaficionados, Federació Catalana de C.B. 27 MHz and Federación Digital EA.

In the last General Assembly (2013-06-29) a Board of Directors was elected for a new period of two years: President ON7GZ, Vicepresident DG9KBE, Secretary-General EA3CIW and Treasurer EA3CWZ.

Good luck in your job, guys.

DF7TT, Jürgen, won a free individual membership for a year in the tombola we carried out at HAM RADIO 2013.

The innocent hand was from Gabriele, an Italian boy who was playing with a paper airplane there.

Other participants don't be sad, you can also become individual members for just 10 €.

And, if you are the first in your country, the second year will be for free. 2x1 technique.

Besides greeting members, friends and supporters, this year EURAO held its General Assembly and biannual Meeting during the fair.

The first Statutes were approved and the Board of Directors elected again: President ON7GZ, Vicepresident DG9KBE, Secretary-General EA3CIW and Treasurer EA3CWZ.

It has been time for listening questions, comments and suggestions. New ideas and future projects often start in this way. Also international public relations are cultivated out of the fair, sharing concepts and wishes.

In this issue you will find:

• 'EURAO land' at HAM RADIO 2013: come to visit us !!!
