In September Estonian national amateur radio society celebrated its 90th anniversary! The society was registered by the Estonian authorities as a union in March 1935, but its actual activities started in September 1935 with the first general meeting held and the first board elected.
To celebrate this, a special event station ES90ERAU was activated for 10 days - activity dates were 20.09.-30.09.2025. ES90ERAU was active on all amateur radio bands and most common modes, more than 18,000 QSO-s were made during this period!
We also created a special web-site for the event and launched an award programme. To get an award you needed to collect at least 90 points - if you made QSO-s with ES90ERAU, check from the web-site below if you have got a right to download this nice award! We will also send out QSL-cards via bureau to all who have requested it or sent us a card. The top-scoring stations in each mode will have a special stamp on the award and this will be sent to them via normal mail, the best 3 overall scores will also get ERAÜ T-shirts.
See the ES90ERAU special web-site and read about the award programme here!
Thank you for the nice activity!

We have updated the Estonian "firsts" tables (DXCC count) on VUSHF bands, that can be followed from the link below. If you find that you have a QSO with an ES- (or former UR2-) station before the date in the table or that your country is not in the list at all (but you have a QSO), please let us know via e-mail to es2nj[ät]erau.ee.
Gratefully,
VHF Committee
