Anyone help contact the Andaman Islands?
Not sure of any better place to try for help. A friend has just phoned -
she is desperate because her son Richard Mulholland is back-packing on Little Andaman and, of course, she has had not contact for the last couple of days. It's taken her a day already just to simply register with the official helpline so she asked me if we had contacts inside the amateur fraternity that might be able to help. If anyone does have a regular contact with the Andamans then on the very slender chance that Richard is known to them she'd appreciate any knowledge of his current situation. If anyone knows any internet or other resources which might be of help I'd appreciate it. Thanks Brian G0UKB |

When the VU4 DXpedition was in full operation, they were very difficult to hear at best. Now they are on battery power running 20 watts. They are the only hams on the Island. http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/12/26/100/?nc=1 GL, jw k9rzz |

Thanks to all the folks that suggested ideas or help. It appears that
Little Andaman was less affected than many other areas and Richard, in true ET fashion, was able to phone home today, to a much relieved mother. Having experienced one mother's grief so close to home really focusses things and my heart goes out to all the other souls missing or perished in this tragedy Brian G0UKB |

Anyway at least for one family all ended well - Richard phoned home=20 today. Brian G0UKB |
