SB SPCL ARL ARLX002
ARLX002 Brazil Eases Authorization for Radio Amateurs Attending the 2016 Summer
Olympics

IARU Region 2 News Editor Joaquin Solana, XE1R, reports that radio amateurs
hoping to operate in Brazil during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio this summer
are in luck and will be able to be on air without bureaucracy.

During August and September any foreign radio amateur will be able to operate
in Brazil, whether or not a reciprocal agreement between the respective
countries exists. No IARP or CEPT license is necessary, and no fees are
required. The Brazilian Amateur Radio League LABRE has obtained permission from
ANATEL, the Brazilian telecommunications regulator, to handle authorizations.
Amateurs who want to operate in Brazil should send LABRE:

* A copy of a valid passport (identification pages)
* A copy of the applicant's Amateur Radio license
* A list of cities in which the radio amateur plans to operate and
  the respective dates
* An e-mail address

Send scanned documents to LABRE via e-mail at, executiva@labre.org.br .
