<H1>IARU Region 1 EC Meeting 2010</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Due to volcanic ash that is covering many parts of Europe,
the International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 Executive Committee held its
annual meeting via a web conference.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Verdana>On World Amateur Radio 2010, the IARU Region 1 EC held its
annual meeting. Due to volcanic eruptions on Iceland most of the European
airspace was closed and only five EC members made it to Sofia, the capital of
Bulgaria.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The rest of the EC had either to return home or to stay at
their home QTH and participated in the EC meeting through WebEx (a remote
meeting application).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>IARU Region 2 President YV5AMH was unfortunate enough to
be stuck in Budapest. He dialed in from his hotel room. The meeting went well
and most of the agenda could be covered. Expect a meeting report soon.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The EC members in Sofia enjoyed a World Amateur Radio Day
dinner hosted by BFRA, the Bulgarian national society.</FONT></P>
