It is with great sadness we say goodbye to Gaston, ON4WF. We remember Gaston as being full of energy and very active in the amateur radio community, including UBA and ARISS. Trying to describe Gaston’s merits is impossible.
Gaston received his license in 1955 and was awarded the Roy Stevens, G2BVN, Memorial Trophy of the IARU Region 1 in 2014 for his invaluable inspiration and contribution to amateur radio.
On behalf of IARU Region 1 we extend the deepest and heartfelt condolences.
Recently news post on the IARU-R1 website and email have informed about the new generation of the noise measuring receiver ENAMS 2.0 (developed by DARC) within the IARU-R1 Noise Measuring Campaign (NMC). In order to spread information and to allow for questions about ENAMS 2.0, please find the linked schedule for the upcoming presentations in November and December 2024. The ENAMS team is glad to tell you about the necessity, advantages and technical details of the proposed ENAMS 2.0 rollout.
Feel free to select a date and time convenient to you. The target audience is the leadership of your amateuer radio society, plus any specialists involved in EMC matters.
We are looking forward to meeting you at one of the upcoming webinars.

Challenge #1
Do you know that Guglielmo Marconi was the first radio amateur operator? He was born in 1874 and we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth. Marconi made some of the most revolutionary inventions of the last centuries, they totally changed the speed of communication in a real global manner, and permitted a totally different way of living.
Are you aware that radio amateurs are active on exploring the possibilities of radio waves following Marconi’s footsteps?
We would like to know how his inventions changed and are still changing your life.
Share and explain it in a fun way, in which you believe it will be attractive and known by more people.
Hint: we are not looking for a long plain text but for content to share on social media and reaching a huge audience. Make use of reels, pictures, etc.. No limits on creativity!
Challenge #2
Use your imagination, what will amateur radio look like in 10 years? Yes, we are talking about the future. Amateur radio is changing, in the past we never heard about satellites, digimodes or SDR. And these are just a few examples. We ask you to share a cool idea or project which you believe will be changing amateur radio but is also fun to share. This could be in the direction of a technology project, experimentation or digital development.
