YL100 - special amateur radio callsign prefix to celebrate Latvia's 100th birthday
Latvia 100 fireworks in Riga, November 18, 2018
On November 18, 2018 Latvia celebrated its centenary.
Radio amateurs in Latvia from November 1st to 18th, 2018 activated special callsigns with prefix YL100 to commemorate this event.
We invited radio amateurs around the world to join us in celebrating the 100th birthday of our country by calling our special event stations on different amateur radio bands and modes.
Special awards for working YL100 stations on different bands and modes are issued.
5 different callsigns were used with YL100 prefix - one from each of 4 Latvia's historical regions and one from the capital city - Riga.
These callsigns were operated by multiple radio amateurs from the related regions.
