Greetings to the Ham world from India ! ! !
It gives me a great pleasure in informing you that VU4 and VU7 will be activated
again this year as part of NIAR Silver Jubilee Celebrations this year in October
2008.
The necessary clearances have been obtained the formal permission letter for VU4
and VU7 activity will be issued shortly.
I would like to thank all the applicants who have supported us and joined hands
to strengthen amateur radio activity in India. The VU4 and VU7 will be activated
by teams of Foreign and Indian amateur radio operators. Names and other
operational details will be given by the respective teams.
We profoundly thank the all the concerned government agencies like the Ministry
of Defence, Home Affairs and External Affairs as well as the Ministry of
Communications and Information Technology for their continuous support to
amateur radio activity in the country.
It is the third time for three years in a row that Government of India has
extends its full support to foreign and Indian radio amateurs to operate their
amateur radio stations from remote Islands of Andamans and Lakshadweep. The
simultaneous amateur radio activity from these two Islands is a path breaking
achievement for NIAR during the year of Silver Jubilee.
We wish all hams to join us to support our vision and mission to strengthen
amateur radio promotion in India.
Look forward to meet you on the band.
Thanking you.
With Regards,
S.Suri, VU2MY
Founder & Chairman, NIAR
