In September Estonian national amateur radio society celebrates 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 is activated for 10 days - activity dates are 20.09.-30.09.2025. ES90ERAU will be active on all amateur radio bands and most common modes.

We also created a special web-site for the event and launched an award programme. To get an award you need to collect 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. 

See the ES90ERAU special web-site and read about the award programme here!

CU on the bands!
