AOxEU: Europe Day "on the air", QSL and Award
The special callsigns AO1EU, AO2EU, AO3EU, AO4EU, AO5EU, AO6EU, AO7EU, AO8EU and AO9EU will be active,
1-20 May 2010, on the occasion of the event on the 9th of May 1950, date in which Robert Schuman
presented his proposal on the creation of an organized Europe, peaceful and solidary,
that, in addition, this year coincides with the Spanish Presidency-in-turn of the EU.
Hereby, the EA Digital Federation, member of European Radio Amateurs' Organization (EURAO),
wants to promote this common space where living together called Europe.
The contact is also valid for the Radio Clubs of the World Award, EANET.
We, radio amateurs, linked through the waves, that do not know about borders, nor prejudices of any kind,
are in a privileged position to share and promote cultural exchange between citizens of different countries.
Let's take advantage of this opportunity to announce this Europe, teenager and still under construction, despite being
the Old Continent, of which Spain is part, as many others, for almost 25 years.
In the selection of links below you will find very interesting information on the creation of Europe and its inspiring
principles.
