The A.R.I. Section of Busto Arsizio proposes to OM/YL and SWL all over the world the EURA, “European Union Regions Award”.

At February 1st 2020 there are 223 of them, but their number will increase when new members will join the European Union. The validity of the contacts starts from the date of membership, as follows:

  • 1st January 1958 (date of starting of the Treaties of Rome) for Belgium, Fed. Rep. of Germany, France, Italy, Luxemburg and Netherlands.

  • 1st January 1973 for Denmark, Great Britain and Ireland. GB's ER will be no longer valid after 31st Jan. 2020 (see below).

  • 1st January 1981 for Greece.

  • 1st January 1986 for Portugal and Spain.

  • 3rd October 1990 for ex DDR (Y2/Y9 prefixes are NOT valid)

  • 1st January 1995 for Austria, Finland and Sweden.  

  • 1st May 2004 for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus.

    •

  • 1st January 2007 for Romania and Bulgaria.

  • 1st July 2013 for Croatia

Because of Brexit the ERs now are 223 (since Feb. 1st 2020). Confirmed and credited ERs will be kept as DELETED. Reached Levels won't change but Owners of the Award cannot use GB ERs to reach upper levels. New Awards will be issued not counting british ER's, although the QSO was before the date of Brexit.

All the contacts must be made from the same Country and with an own and not-temporarily assigned callsign.

There is only one version of the Award: mixed. All the bands assigned to the Radio Amateur Service and all the modes are allowed, satellites included.

There are 5 classes of the Award, identified by coloured star-shaped stickers:

1. Basic: 50% of the Euro-Regions confirmed ( since Feb. 1st 2020: 112)

2. Bronze: 60% of the Euro-Regions confirmed (since Feb. 1st 2020: 134)

3. Silver: 75% of the Euro-Regions confirmed (since Feb. 1st 2020: 167)

4. Gold: 90% of the Euro-Regions confirmed (since Feb. 1st 2020: 201)

5. Honour Roll: 100% of the Euro-Regions confirmed (since Feb. 1st 2020: 223)

When new members will join the European Union, the numbers above will change, according with the fixed percentages. Issued Awards won’t change, but further upgrades will have to respect the after-Brexit levels.

To claim the Award the QSL cards are not required but they must be in possession of the applicant and could be requested anytime for checks.

Application forms must be sent to this address:

The fee is 5 Euro for each requested Award plus postage (NO IRC). Upgrades are free and will be sent as PDF file. The Award is sent via Priority Mail only. No Registered Mail sending available.
