July 18, 2003Every year Ragunda Municipality celebrates King Chulalongkorn´s visit in Utanede in July 19, 1897. This year it was 150 years since King Chulalongkorn was born and it was big celebrations on July 19, in the Thai Pavilion area.
During July 17 18 it was a big international conference (Gateway for exchange Thailand & Northern Europe) in Ragunda with participants from Sweden, Thailand and EU Brussels. The purpose of the conference is to build up a centre of culture. Chairmen of the conference were Permanent Secretary Ministry of Culture M. R. Chakrarot Chitrabongs and the governor of Jämtland County Ms. Maggi Mikaelsson. M. R. Chakrarot is for us radio amateurs also known as HS1VRD. SI9AM were invited to inform the participants of how amateur radio relates people around the world. It was a great honour for us to have this possibility to inform everybody about our hobby and of course about SI9AM.
Ragunda Municipality had also invited us to show amateur radio and inform about SI9AM inside the Thai Pavilion area in an exhibition marquee during July 17 19.
During these days (July 17 - 20) we also showed our Visiting Amateur Radio Station SI9AM.
