Default Mandarmani - the dream DX location near Digha (West Bengal)

[Some may find this DXpedition report interesting]

Veteran dxer Dr.Supratik Sanatani from Kolkata recently visited
'Mandarmani' during holidays.

" I was there to take break.I had not planned serious DX because in this
period of low sunspot and peak Indian summer no one expects any DX.
But I was awe struck by the quality of radio signals from this DX
location. I am seriously planning a DX camp there in the end of December.
I am sure it will repeat the success of the Chandipore DX camps of the
late eighties. " says Dr.Sanatani
