Re: [DX-NEWS] Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin #766 - VU7 report

2006-07-09 Thread Frank DL4KQ

Excerpt of the just spread Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin #776:

"VU7, LAKSHADWEEP ISLANDS. There has been a report that David, K3LP, is
planning to be active from here as VU7/VU3RWO between January 15-25th.
Activity will be mainly CW and SSB, with limited RTTY. He will use 2
SteppIR beams with 2 amps. No other details were provided. Stay tuned!"


FYI:
It is correct that the National Institute of Amateur Radio started with 
first preparations regarding a VU7 dxpedition.
This is an open secret since a NIAR announcement has been made at Hamradio 
Germany.
Any details regarding exact dates, calls, modes, equipments, possible 
operators or whatever will be an exclusive right by NIAR.

[DX-NEWS] VU4 HAMFEST - UPDATE

2005-12-31 Thread Frank DL4KQ



VU4 Operation - UPDATE
 
I spoke several times with NIAR, 
VU2MY, VU2RBI, VU2MYH:
 
NIAR requests registration 
emails (details to be found on www.niar.org) 
within next 5 days.
Please mention how long you want to 
operate!!!
This email is without 
obligation.
 
NIAR understands that still many 
details are missing which would be needed for a final decision to join the VU4 
Hamfest and VU4 operation but nevertheless they need many registration mails now 
for some reasons.
They will try to upload more details within 24 h, 
all final details upto end of next week.
 
It is likely that:

  Operations will start on first day of Hamfest 
  (april 18)
  Operations to be allowed for up to 4 
  weeks
  NIAR will give hotel 
  recommendations, will ask hotel management for antenna 
  permits
  Joining Hams can choose hotel/operation site by 
  their own
Check the NIAR webpage regularly for 
updates, actually there is some delay in doing updates.
