Historical documents

In the minutes from the recent NRAU e-meeting in September 2020, the SSA have been able to dig out two historical and important documents related to NRAU. One is the actual statutes from 1936, the second being a post WW-II document posted in QTC no 7 in 1949, explaining both background and the way ahead for NRAU. Both documents are written in Swedish, and are photocopies of originals.

The two documents are:

Statutes for NRAU 1936 (pdf)
History, status and way ahead 1949 (pdf)

Additionally, LA2RR Ole have provided two other documents, correspondence between NRAU and IARU related to NRAU’s existense, obtained from the ARRL archives:

Letter from NRAU to IARU July 1936 (pdf) – Seeking IARU’s approval for a multi nation federation
Letter from IARU to NRAU August 1936 (pdf) – IARU’s response

If other member societies have similar or other historical documents or data, please inform Webmaster.

Older news and webpage background

An interim NRAU webpage was launched by LA6IM Hans back in 2011, just prior to the NRAU meeting in Norway same year, to see if there was any interest in such a venue. Following that meeting, the layout has changed more times, and feedback is still very much appreciated.

Please note that contents will be amended/updated as required, or as requested.

Older milestones:
