future of

individuals

> Do we must accept that the end of CW on amateur bands is the course
of

> UFT (i.e more than about 700 active members) is a proud affiliate of
EUCW.
> As such, we would greatly appreciate to know what is intended, at
the EUCW

been

> At UFT, we recently had very interesting exchanges with our good
friends

associations
> worldwide and, why not, an International League of Telegraphists. It
could
> be a sort of "cyber-organization", as suggested by Alberto LU1DZ.
> Anyway, organizing CW contests is no longer sufficient and a more
active
> lobbying at the level of IARU seems mandatory.
> UFT as such is member of REF-Union, French representative at IARU
and we had
> fruitfull discussions with our colleagues of the board. But national
level

> In addition, the courageous position of our Russian friends should
be

> To summarize: what does EUCW suggests ? Don't you think it's worth
thinking

proposal would

actions

> It can easily be predicted that as soon as CW will no longer be
required for

will

2001),
> national administrations have the right to craft their domestic
regulations
> accordingly even if the international regulations do not require it.

> My friends and I look forward to reading your opinions and comments.
Thanks
