/

Giorgio Pagan, IW3IBG, has just been elected unan­i­mous­ly new Vice-president of EURAO by its Board of Directors, after the resignation of CT1BAT some months ago.

To tell the truth, Giorgio already participated in the first foun­da­tion­al conversations of EURAO, even before the effective constitution of the Promoters Committee.

Giorgio, who is a great technician, has an extensive experience in the field of amateur radio and associationism, having held various positions in his association: Centro Italiano di Sperimentazione ed Attività Radiantistiche (CISAR), and has many projects in mind.
