Amateur Radio Consultation Meeting Held in Ünye and Fatsa

We held the consultation meeting that we had planned for a long time with the aim of bringing together the amateur radio community in the Ünye and Fatsa districts. This gathering, attended by amateur radio operators from the region, became a productive meeting where the current state of amateur radio activities, the technical and administrative issues encountered in the field, and future goals were discussed in detail. The discussions took place in a sincere and friendly atmosphere, allowing valuable exchange of knowledge and experience among the participants.

During the meeting, particular emphasis was placed on the critical role of amateur radio operators in disaster and emergency communications. The current status of repeater stations, coverage areas, maintenance, and sustainability were thoroughly evaluated. In addition, participants exchanged ideas on how to develop a more effective, fast, and coordinated communication infrastructure for possible disaster scenarios.

Another important topic was the expansion of training activities and the development of new licensed amateur radio operators. Various suggestions were shared on increasing awareness of amateur radio, especially encouraging the participation of young people and women, and building a stronger and more sustainable amateur radio structure for the future.

This meeting was an important step not only in evaluating existing challenges but also in establishing a common vision for the future of amateur radio activities in the Ünye and Fatsa districts. I would like to thank all amateur radio operators who participated and contributed, and I hope to continue organizing similar consultation meetings in the coming period.
