(Edited)
Dear Friends,
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
in October 2008.
The necessary clearances have been obtained; the formal permission letter
for VU4 and VU7 activity will be issued shortly. The callsigns will be
VU4MY, VU4RG, VU7NRO & VU7SJ.
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 the Government of
India has extended 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 Web site: www.niar.org
