An open letter to the DX community from the Daily DX:

Looks like the first ARSI (Amateur Radio Society of India) VU7LD activity 
has begun at 1200 AM (1830Z today) December 1st local time on Kavaratti 
Island, Lakshadweep.  This is the all Indian national team DXpedition.  I'd 
like to bring the following info/request to the DX Community's attention.

This group has been told they must sign VU7LD/VU#??? while operating from 
the number 2 most wanted DXCC Entity.  The stroke (/) VU#??? represents the 
call of the actual operator.  I would ask DXers around the world to refrain
from working VU7LD on the same band and mode more than once, just because it 
is a different operator.

There is no need to work VU7LD/VU2UR, VU7LD/VU2PAI and VU7LD/VU3RSB all on 
20 meters SSB.  There will be no awards for the station that works the most 
VU7LD DXpedition!!!  You only need to work one of them per band/mode.  It's 
the same station and will get the same exact QSL card from W3HNK.  It would 
be like working 3Y0X on 20 meters SSB when N2WB was operating and then 
working K4UEE when he was the op and then
working LA6VM when he was the operator.  There is no need to dupe or work 
each operator on every band mode.  It's perfectly fine though to work VU7LD 
on each of the bands and modes you need it.

As with any major DXpedition to a rare location, such as the Lakshadweep 
Islands, the pileups are going to be extremely large.  Certain areas of the 
world will have a more difficult time than other areas.  When the operator 
asks for a certain area please respect their plea.  By the way VU7LD will 
have an on-line log search, probably in a few days, at 
http://arsi.info/vu7/.  Good luck to all and please listen carefully to the 
operators instructions!  See you in the pileups!  This team will be QRV 
until the end of December.  VU7RG will be QRV January 15-25th, with an 
international group of operators.  They have a Web page at 
http://www.vu7.in.

PS. Please post this on your club reflector, other DX reflectors, Website 
and other DX publications.  Thank you in advance.

W3UR, Bernie
