The European Radio Amateurs' Organization
announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "CQ Walkie-Talkies".
Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.
Purpose: Walkie-Talkies, also known as handheld transceivers, are very popular among young people and beginners and are very useful in case of
emergency communications. Do not underestimate this kind of devices and try to contact them or from them, mainly on VHF and UHF bands, either direct or via repeater, via EchoLink, DMR, etc.
Have fun and meet other hams all over the world or just local.
Date & time: from June 10th to September 17th, 2023, 00:00-24:00 UTC.
Bands & modes: mainly in FM on VHF and UHF bands, but not only.
EFG.
Call: "CQ Walkie-Talkies EURAO Party".
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.
Also talk about QSL interchange. Tell the truth. Say "no, thanks" if you are not interested in QSL cards. But if you would like to have a memory of your contact, feel free to use
our EuroBureauQSL (see below).
Logs: for statistic purposes only, we ask participants to submit their logs to
party@eurao.org in ADIF format, where the filename should be your callsign (e.g. EA3RKF.ADI).
There will be no results or league tables, only statistical information about number of QSOs, countries, callsigns, OMs/YLs/Clubs, etc.

Amateur Radio News... (cont.)
Centro Italiano di Sperimentazione ed Attività Radiantistiche, another of the founding members of EURAO,
after the interval imposed by COVID-19, participated again in the HAM RADIO international exhibition and set up its very popular booth where visitors could taste
Prosecco and Parmigiano Reggiano as a sample of Italian hospitality.
Several topics were discussed there: news on Italian amateur radio legislation, digitization of the CISAR National Link in collaboration with the new group
m17project.org, ...
On November 5, from 08:00 to 12:00 UTC, it will be held the next edition of the "sprint contest" version
of the same name Award, devoted to the "Radio Clubs of the World".
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.
