Radio Amateur Society of Thailand members hear about VU4 DXpedition and the tsunami

Those attending the November meeting were fortunate to be able to view and hear a presentation by Charly, K4VUD, HS0ZCW, about the VU4 Andaman Island DXpedition last year.

Members heard how it was organised and planned, the work that went into building the stations and in operating them, and then what happened when that fateful earthquake shook the region on December 26, triggering the devastating tidal wave.

Charly's account was accompanied by a presentation on a notebook computer that those present huddled around to see images of Port Blair and other islands in the Andaman and Nicobar chain before and after the tsunami struck.
