It is with great pleasure that I address you, on behalf of the Brazilian Amateur Radio League – LABRE, to invite you to take part in a Special Event. On February 2, 2026, LABRE will celebrate its 92nd anniversary, marked by a long-standing dedication to Brazilian amateur radio, technical development, international integration, and continuous service to society.
To mark this historic date, we will once again promote a special event, open to the participation of amateur radio operators from Brazil and around the world. For 30 days, from February 1 to March 1, 2026, we will be on the air with 28 special call signs representing each Brazilian region, creating a unique opportunity for fellowship, cultural and technical exchange, and friendship—values that have always been at the heart of LABRE.
The activation will include a wide range of operating modes, such as SSB, CW, digital modes and satellite, allowing the participation of the largest possible number of operators. Operations will take place on the 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meter bands, as well as on LEO satellites in the 2 m and 70 cm bands (144 and 430 MHz) and on the geostationary satellite QO-100, in the 13 cm and 3 cm bands (2.4 and 10 GHz), further expanding the reach and technical challenge of the event.
To make this celebration even more exciting, LABRE is preparing special awards, recognizing both the top activators and the participants with the highest number of contacts made. The criteria, categories, and further details will be announced in due course through our official channels, especially our website at http://www.labre.org.br.
I kindly invite you to save the dates, prepare your station, and follow our announcements. It will be a great honor to count on your participation in this true celebration of amateur radio, which honors not only LABRE’s history, but also the spirit of unity that connects us beyond our borders.
Stay tuned. More information coming soon.
With kind regards and best wishes for good contacts,
José Osvaldo Figueiredo Araújo – PY9BR
President – Brazilian Amateur Radio League – LABRE
