&
AMATEUR RADIO ACTIVITY FROM VU2 / VU4/VU7 DURING OCTOBER 24 -
NOVEMBER 3, 2008
Dear Friends and fellow Hams,
National Institute of Amateur Radio was established with its headquarters in
Hyderabad in the year 1983 with the objective of promoting amateur radio
activity in the country. Commemorating 25 glorious years of public service
to the nation, we would like to celebrate with fellow hams and our members
in India and abroad with activities on the band as well as at Hyderabad.
Over the last 25 years, NIAR has been successful in conducting several
awareness activities at schools and colleges; organsing Dxpeditions to
Andaman and Nicobar Islands & Lakshadweep Islands; training programs for
ASOC examination; providing Emergency Communications; operating QSL bureau
and liaison with the government of India for implementing policies and
programs for development of amateur radio in the country.
The population of radio amateurs since NIAR existence has risen from over
1800 in the year 1983 to over 15000 in this period. Numerous awards and
appreciation received by us from several government and non-government
agencies in India and abroad speak about the commitment of members in
achieving the objectives of the organisation.
The success of Hamfest 2007 and Dxpedition VU7RG/VU7MY held during January
2007 in Lakshadweep Islands was amongst the most challenging events
organized ever by NIAR with support of several agencies of Government of
India and Lakshadweep Islands administration which added a new dimension of
HAM TOURISM to India. Over 1,19,000 contacts made during a short period,
proves the skills of amateur radio operators in making successful two-way
communication from any remote part of the world even under extreme
propagation conditions.
We would like to extend an invitation to you to join us with family and
friends for Silver Jubilee celebrations at Hyderabad during 18-20 October,
2008 and also enjoy amateur radio activity from many Indian locations after
the event until to November 3, 2008. NIAR will assist its guests in regard
of reciprocal licenses or operation permits for VU4 or VU7 activations.
Kindly register your name at the earliest and
sign-in your intent at the website
http://www.niar.org/sj/form.html where you will find more details
about license requirements.
As it requires processing the application forms for each of the interested
amateur radio operator for a specific location, we request the interested
Hams to submit all the necessary documentation by POST MAIL on or before
15 January 2008 to the address mentioned below.
