EURAO Party - Autumn 2020: catching Christmas stations

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

Purpose: The tradition of Santa Claus and the spirit of Christmas have reached the waves in recent years. At this season some stations with special suffix go on air, like YP2XMAS. Also others with their regular suffix join the event. Pay attention to their unusual call! And do not miss the opportunity to participate with children.

Date & time: from December 1st to 31st, 2020, 00:00-24:00 UTC.

Bands & modes: all modes and frequencies, mainly in HF bands, but not only. EFG.

Call: "CQ EURAO Party Ho-Ho-Hooo".

Exchange: because this is a QSO event, not a contest, you can talk about whatever you want, in any language, and for as long as you like. Here are some topic suggestions to get the conversation going: name, city, locator, weather, antennas, rigs, etc.

Malta added to CEPT Radio Amateur Licence nuevo

CEPT/ECC At the request of EURAO, in mid october it was approved a modification of CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-01, also called CEPT Radio Amateur Licence, during the web­meeting WGFM#97.

This modification itself was considered a simple editorial amendment and added Malta to the list of administrations in Annex 2 of this recommendation because it recently (2020-01-10) implemented this recommendation at the national level.
