A Organização Europeia de Radioamadores anuncia a nova festa no ar com o lema: "silêncio por favor, QRP no ar". Lembre-se que este não é um concurso, é apenas uma reunião de rádio com algumas 'regras' simples, será melhor chamá-las de recomendações.

After more than a year of parties on the air, one in each season, EURAO looks back and sees five editions of this kind of activities:

• Autumn 2013: make new friends with classical phone
• Winter 2014: promoting HF Digital Voice
• Spring 2014: CW still alive and kicking
• Summer 2014: give youth a chance
• Autumn 2014: be digital, explore 30m

Recently, we found some time to prepare a pretty simple website that shows statistics of past EURAO Parties, mainly because we felt the pressure of received logs (hi hi).

A long path has been traveled and an intense experience lived since F5RCS proposed in mid 2005 the creation of an European association of radio amateurs.

In just ten years, EURAO has achieved: real members in more than 50 countries, in and outside Europe; setting up a global QSL service; recognition by: EU, UN, CEPT and ITU; economic stability; attendance to HAM RADIO exhibitions; performing projects and activities, such as awards, parties, emergency communications exercises or youth meetings; etc.

Neste número encontrará:

• 10º aniversário da EURAO (2005-2015): da idéia a prática
• X Colóquio de Radioamadores em Portugal
• CQ EECE 2014: sucesso, feedback e falhas

A Organização Europeia de Radioamadores, juntamente com o 30 Meter Digital Group , anunciam a nova festa no ar com o lema: "seja digital, explora os 30m". Lembre-se este não é um concurso, é apenas uma reunião de rádio com algumas 'regras' simples, é melhor chamá-las de recomendações.

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 9, 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.

EuroBureauQSL, the EURAO's QSL Bureaus Global Network, has an XML interface ready to provide simple information to external software and applications about whether an specific callsign can receive cards via this system. The answer is just: Yes or No.

"Associations in Europe - EURAO, an experience" was the title of the talk given by Jose Machado, CT1BAT, president of Tertúlia Radioamadorística Guglielmo Marconi, CS5TRGM, in the event organized by the Associação de Radioamadores do Ribatejo, CT1ARR, which took place last September in Almeirim.

Attendees discussed about this topic and how necessary it is associations work together for a better ham radio. In this article you can find the slide presentation in Portuguese and some pictures of the meeting.

The first European Emergency Communications Exercise held on September 27, was attended by hams from: Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Macedonia, Portugal, Romania, Spain, UK, ... Pretty good for the first time.

Some of them participated only as listeners (SWL), others giving reports and a few sending and receiving messages.
