VU7LD PRESS RELEASE – 8

December 4, 2006

“VU7LD went on the air exactly at 0001 hrs Indian standard time on the 1st December. It took some more hours to set up all the stations and now there are five stations QRV and almost all bands and modes are being worked with contacts being made from all over.

Propagations have been reasonably good and it is expected that it will be better in a few days, according to the charts.

QRG stations are reminded that working the different operators on the same band does not count for any awards and so please not do that.

We apologize for online logs not being available yet as there is a big problem with internet connectivity from the islands- CD’s with the logs are now being flown across to the mainland and so logs will be available in a couple of days- please bear with us for this.”

Stay tuned
