VU7LD ---> The ARSI operation from Kavaratti, Lakshadweep Islands
(http://www.arsi.info/vu7/index.html) went QRT at 13 UTC on 27 December, a
few days earlier than originally planned. On-line logs currently cover the
entire period of the DXpedition: if you do not find yourself in the log and
believe you have a valid QSO, please send a message to vu7ld at arsi.info with
your detailed log entry (including the VU7LD/operator you worked) for the
team to verify if a mistake was made while entering the log.
VU7RG ---> The following table shows the Operating Frequencies (source
http://www.vu7.in/, latest update 24 December) for the 15-25 January VU7RG
activity for the Lakshadweeps. "As announced earlier we have made clear
agreements with all involved VU7 stations how we are going to share the
frequency band to avoid chaos because of overlapping frequencies", the team
says. Please note that:
- all sites will operate exclusively within their frequency slots and
- always at the beginning of their slot;
- split window never will exceed upper slot boundary;
- stations calling VU7RG outside the slot windows will not get logged
- for example, Site 1 operates on 1821 kc and the upper split window
boundary is 1832 kc: call on 1830 kc and will get your chance, call on 1833
kc and you will not be considered at all.
