Aurora25 will be held in July 2025
SRAL’s member clubs organise a summer camp for radio amateurs every summer in different locations around Finland. The aim is to bring together members of the League. During the camp you can relax and enjoy nature whilst also attending programmes related to the hobby, such as presentations, flea markets and workshops. This year, on 17th to 20th July, the camp will take place in Revontuli (The Northern Lights Resort, Revontulentie 1, 41500 Hankasalmi). The Aurora25 camp in Central Finland will be organised by Keski-Suomen Radioamatöörit OH6AD. This is a great opportunity to spend time in rural Finland, meet up like minded hobbyists and get to know League’s activities and personnel better.
