Finland’s national amateur radio society the SRAL reports over 200 people have started training for an amateur radio license since the start of the year
The post by Board Director Timo Rinne OH5LLR says:
The beginning of the year has been fast-paced from the point of view of a new board member. Both the government and the office are currently understaffed, so there is plenty to do. Fortunately, we have received help from active Members and committees. The continuity of RA Magazine was confirmed when Tomi OH2ID took over the main position almost from the flight. The office’s resources will also be strengthened during the spring.
There are new winds blowing in the committees, too. The concept of an automated station has evolved over the years, and the related processes and Radio Amateur regulations have not kept pace with the development. A new working group led by Erik OH2LAK has been set up to coordinate and develop the operation of automated stations in its current form. The Competition Committee will also sharpen tools to increase the test activity, more information on this in the following RA Journals.
