A QSL (...The article on Ham Radio was informative. A QSL (Acknowledgement) Card from AC3PT was very sought after. But it is not always talking for pleasure that hams indulge in. There are examples galore in which hams have provided efficient communication during emergencies such as floods, earthquakes, storms and other calamities. <BR/>I operated a Ham station from Gangtok from 1979 to 1995 with a callsign VU2RVM (VU2 denotes India) using home brewed equipment. Later as a Club Station of National Institute of Amateur Radio I used Kenwood equipment. In 1986, I trained 20 Scouts and Guides and their instructors from Sikkim and many of them got their licences. Some of them used to operate my equipment for going on air. Sadly with the advent of the internet and mobile communication, Ham Radio is steadily taking a backseat. But in Sikkim there is still scope for Ham radio to be used as a alternate means of communication during disasters.<BR/> I’ll email you copies of my QSL card and the QSLs that I received from various foreign countries on you e-mail and also post a copy of my book “ABC of Amateur Radio and Citizen Band” which is widely referred to by aspiring Hams.Rajesh Vermahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05094601135299985920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242392292917980943.post-79895971803701582702008-10-25T23:09:00.000+05:302008-10-25T23:09:00.000+05:30informative..informative..lazy bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804318232525311794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242392292917980943.post-82592833493557082252008-10-22T15:25:00.000+05:302008-10-22T15:25:00.000+05:30Dear Mandal SirThanks for your king comment.
