OR4TN - Antarctica
17-01-2010
Submitted by: ON5EX
OR4TN is ON5TN’s call sign from the Belgian Princess Elisabeth Station on Antarctica. Karel is a member of the team who is there on a mission to make the new base operational. That means he is there to work... If work permits, he will try to be active but it is NOT a priority. The good news (well, for us anyway) is Karel's stay has been extended until February 25. At that date the entire team will leave Antarctica. More details here.

WARC 10MHz band open to VU2 Hams
10-12-2009
Submitted by: ON5EX
The Wireless Planning & Communication (WPC) Wing of the Ministry of Communications in India has written to Gopal VU2GMN (President, Amateur Radio Society of India) to inform that 10100 to 10150 has been allocated to Amateur Services on a secondary basis in India.

This means that VU2 hams are free to use this on a non-interference basis with existing users of these frequencies. Earlier, temporary permission was issued from time to time for this WARC band. It has also been communicated to Gopal that the 50-52 MHz (6M) band cannot be allocated now since it has already been allocated to other services. Hopefully they can still get some spot frequencies there in future.
