VU4 VU7 Activation
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 and VU7SJ.
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.

Update: Monitored the station VU4MY active on 14.240 MHz and 14.260MHz last week. Failed to have a contact perhaps due to direction / propagation conditions.
