[VU2LID]

VU (India) Amateur Radio operators are now authorized to use 7.00 to 7.20 MHz (previously it used to be 7.00 to 7.10 MHz). Here is an extract of a message from ARSI (Amateur Radio Society of India which represents India in IARU) :

"I spoke to WPC just now and they have confirmed that the extra bandwidth has been officially released to VU radio amateurs based on the petitions given
by ARSI on 15 April 2009, soon after the band was to be released as per
agreement inWRC2003 The notification will appear on the WPC webpage shortly VU hams can now officially use that extra band width

They have also confirmed that the other requests made by ARSI regarding 10
MHz and 50 MHz are also under consideration, so please wait for further news

hi

we are having a good time with the extended band spectrum now. during the last two days many stations were heard and worked by me. the band is noise free especially on early mornings and late nights and hopes to see more dx stations showing up soon.
