GAREC 2005

摘要

The light drizzly morning of Monday 13 June saw a unique gathering in the conference suite of the Ramada Hotel in Tampere, Finland. For the first time, nearly 50 delegates representing the amateur radio emergency organisations of 17 countries ranging from the USA, through Europe, Africa, and Asia to Japan had assembled together for GAREC 2005, the first Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications conference, organised under the umbrella of the IARU, to begin a tightly-packed two-day schedule.
