History
Rádio Unifei was put on the air on 1490 kHz in 1961 under the direction of José Leite, professor at the then-Electrotechnical Institute of Itajubá. Much of the transmission and studio equipment was built or repaired by students. In the 1970s, the station received a commercial license and moved to 1570 kHz, operating with 250 watts.
