The European Emergency Communications Exercise held on October 3, was the second edition of this kind of exercices, in which participated hams and SWLs from: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, UK, ...
Some of the participants were volunteers in local sections of organizations like Red Cross. Others transmitted from their radio club stations. But most of them were at home.
Propagation allowed only QSOs on 40m band, not on 20m. But despite that, several messages crossed the continent.
After the great welcome of the previous editions, it comes again the "sprint contest" version of the EANET Award, devoted to the "Radio Clubs of the World". It will be on November 8, 08:00-12:00 UTC.
In just four hours you can win original and funny prizes that you can share with your mate or friends: hotels, restaurants, wellness or adventures.
Moreover, you will have the opportunity to contact those radio clubs you still needed to complete the EANET Award.
The European Emergency Communications Exercise (EECE) is about to practice the exchange of messages between radio amateurs with some fixed data, using a template like this:
