| Biography Celebrating it's 75th anniversary FURA, Umeå Amateur Radio Society is activating the special callsign SK75AT from 12th of February to 31th of December 2021 .
FURA, founded the 12th of February 1946, when ham radio was allowed again after the end of World War II.
Without a QTH the initial 14 members arranged meetings at cafés, making interest and attracted new people to
the exciting technology of radio communication, and at the end of 1946 the number of members was reaching 73.
With pre WWII homemade transceivers and new surplus gear the licensed hams could again experiment and use the airwaves.
Today, 75 years later, FURA is still an active club with about 100 members and weekly club meetings with the possibilities to
work from 160m to 23cm on CW, Phone and Digital, including VHF/UHF-analog, D-star and DMR repeaters.
