• ITU welcomes EURAO as a Radiocommunications sector member
• EURAO at HAM RADIO 2019 and its General Assembly

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.

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.
