VU3WTI's Amateur Radio Diary A few Entries..


January 29,2020:
VU3OKB..OB Pintu Sarkar from Guwahati tested with me with his home brewed  Transreceiver ( DSB) (pumping 42W as per homebrewed PWR Meter)with end feed antenna this evening around 5:31PM onwards for a few minutes.I copied him with perfect readibility though signal was weak & over noise.....perhaps this is the first copy of any amateur station's signal from Guwahati here in Abhayapuri after several days. VU2TKG OM Anirudh Sharma,Guwahati informed about sunspot activity last night in VHF Net In Guwahati to VU3OKB. And OB VU3OKB informed me via cellphone  that  SWL Mr.J Bora with  his camera fitted with solar filter   detected a tiny sunspot on the sun around 2PM.And OB  VU3OKB & SWL Mr. Bora will observe jointly the sunspot activity tomorrow with VU3OKB's homebrewed telescope.


January 30,2020:
Today afternoon our  VU3OKB along with SWL J Bora observed the sunspot activity from Guwahati with the homebrewed telescope of VU3OKB  & captured the sunspot by camera.And they observed slight shifting of sunspot from yesterday. And today morning strong signal of  VU3TQF's (OB Ravi Boro)..  from Guwahati was received as far as Delhi as informed by a senior ham from Delhi.

Memories Of Amgaon Taribagan .

From My Radio E-Picture Archive ...Amateur Radio Society Of Assam(ARSA)..Annual General Meeting ..in 2016..Amgaon,Taribagan ,Guwahati A few snaps..
















AGM of ARSA Again Returning to Amgaon on February 23rd ,2020 After A gap of a few years..

And way back in 2016 in that AGM of ARSA I joined ASRA as a shortwave listener. i.e.SWL ..And I sat for my restricted grade Amateur Station Operating Certificate (ASOC) examination of WPC of Govt of India organised by ARSA under Wireless Monitoring Station,Dibrugarh in January 2019 and passed the the examination.And after that I applied for license and got my callsign cum restricted grade license  as VU3WTI on July 2019.And expert home brewer also an amateur radio operator VU3TQF is making my transreceiver.And it may take a few more months to be on air.

Its great to return to Amgaon again as VU3WTI ...
