First Information Circular
Dear fellow hams,
WISH YOU A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2006
Congratulations!!! - Foreign Hams may get ready to operate from VU4
National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR), Hyderabad had earlier organized
a successful Dx-pedition (VU4NRO/VU4RBI) in Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar
Islands during December, 2004. The team members prematurely stopped the
Dx-pedition activity after tsunami disaster struck the South Asian region on
26th
December 2004 and mobilized their communication resources to provide
humanitarian service to support essential rescue and relief operations. The
services
of these amateur radio operators were appreciated by several agencies in
India and Abroad.
Thereafter, several requests were forwarded to NIAR from International
amateur radio organizations, Dx forums, and Individual hams to organize a
suitable
event in a befitting manner to highlight the benefits of amateur radio
technologies for social and scientific development.
