VU7LD DXpedition
By VU2GMN, Gopal Madhavan
All heavy equipment for shipment has been packed and sent to Mangalore
from where a small mechanized dhow (Called Manju locally) will take it
all to Kavaratti.
Ship tickets have been purchased and the first lot of operators should
be in Kavaratti by the month end to set up and be QRV on 1st December
2006.
Four SteppIR antennae have been purchased by our members to use during
the visit and then for their own use. These have all been dispatched from
the USA and will be received in Bangalore next week for onward shipment
to Kavaratti.
QSL card designs have been finalized and will be on the webpage soon.
Our webpage server statistics reports of more that 100,000 hits since
September and over 50,000 during the first week of November indicating
the huge interest in VU7LD.
An updated web design will also be introduced to improve readability
(http://www.arsi.info/vu7/index.shtml).
