VU7LD went QRT at 1300Z on Dec 27th. Stations are being dismantled and operators will leave the island in a couple of days.

See the Press Release 12 page for more details.

 

Amateur Radio Society of India (ARSI) has been working on taking a serious group of Indian amateurs to work from the “second most wanted entity” Lakshadweep, for some years now and the latest application was made in February 2006. The WPC, after getting all required permissions from the various authorities like the Indian Navy, the Island Administration, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Defence, gave formal permission to Amateur Radio Society of India (ARSI) to go to Lakshadweep during the whole of December 2006.

Many of the Operators in this event are experienced in IOTA Activations & VU4 DXpedition and Tsunami Emergency Communication. Veterans from last VU7 DXpedition are also part of this event and are extending their whole hearted support and they will share their  expertise and experience with their fellow Hams.

“The plans for this expedition are well underway and we are assembling together around 25 Indian radio operators who have a proven record of operating in “pile up” conditions on all modes so that the poor propagation conditions are utilized to the maximum.”
