The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "Season's Greetings". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

Some IARU R1 member societies have threatened their members with expulsion if they join EURAO, clearly violating freedom of association, a fundamental right enshrined in article 12 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

The "argument" put forward by these societies is that EURAO is a competitor, overlooking the fact that IARU and EURAO are also collaborators in areas of common interest, such as CEPT. And if they don't remember that, they should see the joint statement resulting from the 2017 meeting between both organizations.

The General Assembly 2024 of EURAO was held the first Thursday of July via internet, after a previous informal contact in Friedrichshafen the weekend before.

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