   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 .
