S79VU..

On August 31st, around 1933 IST ,My ham friend from Naharlagun,Arunachal Pradesh  VU3HZT  OB Vijay Sonam did send  me an monitoring alert message  about an amateur station  with callsign S79VU operating on 14225kHz usb.VU3HZT  did give a call to him but S79VU could not copy him.I also could not monitor that evening as I was busy in some other works on my computer.But I was curious about the ..VU part of the callsign.At first I though it was a special callsign station related someway to India.

Later I did extensive search on the net and got the correct information on QRZ.COM & other sources.

VU2IIX OM Shiv Shanker Pandit (from Bengaluru)  moved to Seychelles for two year contract for work. in summer of 2019 and got his amateur radio license there with..callsign S79VU and he operates from Mahe Islands,Seychelles from September end of 2019.

And my friend VU2OWB ,OM Avijit Mandal from Khaspur,West Bengal informed me that he has made several QSOs with S79VU  already.

VU3WTI WIth Wit & Humour & Without Limit:

My amateur station is yet to be ready to transmit due to non delivery of the transreceiver which is still in building stage  due to several factors.Lets hope for better!!! Lets hope for better!!! 

Hope One Day I will be on active cum operating mode... removal of my list of so called "Paper Ham"..Hi Hi..though I do not like the term "Paper  Ham"...at all .there are many other terms in circulation too though off the record informally I guess ..but after all we are all "Paper Ham"..our license were issued in a piece of paper..by WPC..though now-a-days digital format used..still..a paper copy needed for reference..etc..So, we all paper ham.Still I like to be now designated as "Monitoring Ham"...HaaaaaaaH HaaaaaaaH

HaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!!
