Default VU4, ANDAMAN ISLANDS (Update)

VU4, ANDAMAN ISLANDS (Update)
Bharathi, VU2RBI, and her team will be leaving for Port Blair, South Andaman
Island (IOTA AS-001), before December 3rd. Charles, K4VUD, reported this
week that the VU4 DXpedition's budget is 20,000 USD. He has bank wire
transfers of 2,000 USD (donations received so far) to Bharathi/NIAR. Charles
also mentions a few items in his updates on the upcoming operation. He
states:


1. HUGE thanks to all who donated money to date. Bharathi and her family
will now NOT be in debt for the airplane tickets. We are still working on
paying for her hotel stay at 85.00 USD/night in the hotel with the clear
over-water shot to E, N, and W on high cliff overlooking the ocean.
2. The plan is to have two locations active, separated by several miles,
on the same island. So far, no linears are available.

3. Due to the rapid formation of this DXpedition, no organization has been
able to get support together and no manufacturers of equipment (except XM
tuners) have been able to get on line.

4. The only pilot possibility is VU2MY at the NIAR ). He
will know QSL info.

5. Please remember this is a "mighty lite" operation that is establishing
that ham radio is "OK" on Andaman, NOT a huge arrival of top opertors with
tons of gear, so be nice and patient, please.


Please remember that funds are still needed for this operation.
Donations/funds should be directed to: National Institute of Amateur Radio,
Raj Bhavan Road, Hyderabad 500 082, India. Funds can also be sent to the
Charles, K4VUD. Charles states, "Any and all donations that come to me will
be completely used to assist this DXpedition via the National Institute of
Amateur Radio in India, the umbrella sponsoring agency who, BTW, is allowed
to receive foreign funds." K4VUD mail address is: Charles Harpole, 3100 N.
Hwy. 426, Geneva, FL 32732 USA.
