HAMFEST (VU4) INDIA - 2006
Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Dear fellow hams,
WISH YOU A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2006
Congratulations!!! - Foreign radio hams may get ready to
operate from VU4
National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR), Hyderabad had earlier organized
a successful Dx-pedition (VU4NRO/VU4RBI) in Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar
Islands during December, 2004.
The team members prematurely stopped the Dx-pedition activity after tsunami
disaster struck the South Asian region on 26th December 2004 and mobilized
their communication resources to provide humanitarian service to support
essential rescue and relief operations. The services of these amateur
radio operators were appreciated by several agencies in India and abroad.
Thereafter, several requests were forwarded to NIAR from International
amateur radio organizations, Dx forums, and Individual hams to organize
a suitable event in a befitting manner to highlight the benefits of amateur
radio technologies for social and scientific development.
NIAR further made a proposal to Government of India to organize an International
Convention of Amateur Radio Operators HAMFEST (VU4) INDIA –
2006, to be held at Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands during
April 18-20, 2006.
The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for presentation
and discussion on Latest technology developments, Antennas & Propagation,
Dx-peditions, HF & VHF Communications, Digital amateur radio, Emergency
Communications, Promotion of amateur radio / open forum in the field of
amateur radio communication. The conference will cover all interdisciplinary
aspects of amateur radio in various sessions.
The other major attractions during the event include arena for exhibitors

well as allow foreign hams to operate from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

more.
