EECE: European Emergency Communications Exercise for hams
On September 27, 2014, 9:00-11:00 CEST, the first exercise of this kind at European level will be held.
This was one of the projects discussed by EURAO members at Friedrichshafen, and it will be carried out with the support of associations in several countries.
Some of the EECE challenges are: to establish a human communications network of two levels: one national and another one international, to define operating procedures, to test its reliability, the operators skills and deployment time.
WLOTA: World Lighthouse On The Air
This award has been set up as a tribute to lighthouse keepers, either in mid-ocean or isolated islands.
Since the automation of most of these lighthouses, their keepers are, in the main, no longer required,
but their long-standing contribution cannot be denied.
With this in mind, WLOTA has been developed to encourage amateur radio operations from these remote locations.
This is an idea of F5SKJ and F5OGG, with the enthusiastic support of URC and EURAO.
