[Dx-qsl] Info needed

[Roger]

Hi Osten
I have info on VU4GDG. It was a DXpedition organized by the Coimbatore 
Amateur Radio Club and took place between 5th and 26th october 1987. They 
operated 160-80-40-20-15-10 meters, on SSB, CW and RTTY. On the air, the 
stations used to transmit VU4GDG/<suffix-of-the-call-of-the-operator>, i.e. 
"CQ de VU4GDG/TS", but the QSL cards only showed VU4GDG. I guess that was 
just for their log organization purposes.

The operators were:
VU2GDG  Gopal
VU2CE   Chandra (GDG's xyl)
VU2DVP  Vidi
VU2CVP  Chitra (DVP's xyl)
VU2APE  Kumar
VU2DQP  Sarathy
VU2TS   Ganesh
VU2JX   JS

The QSL information was VU2GDG. I DO NOT know about any current address, 
but in 1987 his address in the Callbook was: G. D. Gopal, 233 Gopal Bagh, 
Avanashi Rd, Coimbatore 641018, India. Nevertheless, the QSL card had the 
following address printed: "Box 3733, Coimbatore, India".

I was lucky enough to work them on SSB on 80/40/20/15/10 meters, and on CW 
on 40/20/15 meters. I sent my request, including S.A.E. and donation, by 
airmail on 31-october-1987 to the CBA and got it back, with all QSOs 
confirmed, on 18-march-1988. The S.A.E. was postmarked 10-march-1988, 
Coimbatore.
