S21SHQ on air

Bangladesh Scouts will establish two Amateur radio stations (s21shq) as a part of the 4th APR Air/Internet Jamboree 2008. This time Bangladesh is the host country for this Jamboree.

The amateur radio stations will be on-air on scout frequencies in 10/20/40m amateur bands from 02 to 03 August.

One station will be in Sylhet, hilly city in the eastern part of the country, operated by S21AM, S21S and S21RC. The other station will be in Bahadurpur, near the capital and will be operated by S21D, S21M and S21O.

The plan is to run two radios in the first station, one with an inverted V in 40m running 100w and the other one with a beam antenna running QRV covering 10 and 15m. The second station also will run two radios, 100w with inverted V for 40m and 20m.

The operators will mainly communicate with neighbouring country’s scout stations but also will do DX in their leisure time.
