World Amateur Radio Day On 18th April of Every Year:
It is celebrated on this day to mark the formation of the International Amateur Radio Union(IARU) in Paris in1925.This year also marks the IARU's centenary year. IARU has announced the theme of centenary year as "Entering the Next Century of Amateur Radio Communications & Innovation”.

My 7s Logs In The Morning From Abhayapuri

I reactived my amateur radio monitoring on HF bands from September 2024 onwards after a gap for a few months with a long wire end feed with my RIG Yaesu FT 891 and later after a few weeks installed the dual bander inverted V 40/20mb centre feed at the same feedline(coaxial cable RG58) and I noted down a few details of the monitoring sessions in the morning as usual on 7050kHz ,7145kHz,& 7070kHz all in lower side band(lsb) viz.my morning Three 7s... and in addition now another frequency i.e.7090kHz lsb, in addition to add to my Three 7s to make it Four 7s, have to monitor.As for severak weeks now on 7090kHz lsb has been active a few hams from North East primarily a few from Guwahati & one from Shillong in the morning time to time joins for contact(QSO).

I have not heard for a long time QSOs of hams of Assam prinarily members of Amateur Radio Socitey Of Assam(ARSA) on 7070kHz lsb.But once there was regular activities i.e.QSOs on this frequency.And hams of other areas of the North East,West Bengal,Bihar and from other overseas countries viz Bangladesh & Nepal also joins there on 7070kHz lsb for QSO.

Here are the photographs of my rough reception compilations.I have laid all my loose sheets rough written logs cum reports on the table of this blog! HI HI!

  From Monitor's Desk 

And brief summary of my listening period September,2024  till today..on my 7s in the early morning..

VU3BTP OM Harsha from Bokaro Steel City  has become VU2TIW and great signal(excellent modulation) of him 59 always on my Yaseu FT 891 either on On inverted V dipole or end fed long wire viz loud and clear.

Special Mentioned Amateur Radio Station Of The Period Monitored

VU3NYV From The Scotland Of The East..:

On November 5th perhaps perhaps from 0630ist onwards on 7050kHz lsb, I heard strong breaking Signal of a station with callsign VU3NYV several times.But none in the warm up session of The Belgaum Net on 7050kHz lsb  might have not copied his signal as there were no response.I checked the callsign on the internet and found he is Mr. Hajong from NEHU campus,Shillong(Meghalaya)..And later I alerted a few hams about the new amateur station i.e. VU3NYV I heard  from Shillong.Later, I heard him joining 7145kHz lsb & 7070kHz lsb.His signal strength has been S7 to S9 in general with slight QSB.He is using sBIXT with horizontal dipole homebrewed antenna(with 25W maximum on 40mb).I also heard him on 7090kHz lsb with the same reception quality 59 maximum.He also sometimes operates from Nalbari District of Assam and  Ialso  heard him  from there too with 57-55 here atleast twice.That time he used sBITX and the antenna a  homeberwed EFHW antenna.I understand he is a keen homebrewer..He is also active on 20mb and 15mb.And has already made several contacts with amateurs around the world.

You can check his page on QRZ.COM.More about VU3NYV will be posted later.

Monitor's Choice Station From My Home State Assam:

Next, I like to mention one of the active amateur station from Guwahati,VU3HZW.He is very active on 20mb & 15mb.On 40mb too I also heard his loud clear signal here several times.On 20mb, I also heard his signal loud and clear during the winter.He is using uBITX mutiband transreciver with linear amplifier and uses generally mutliband inverted dipole.He is making contacts around the world with both QRP and QRO.He has already contacted more than  47 countries and numerous contacts within India.

.You can find more on VU3HZW on QRZ.Com.
He is also maintaining a website on amateur radio..

As I have already posted my special observation on 20mb during this winter, I just share a link to the report for reference:

Latest Reception Log..

 RIG: Yaesu FT891 Antenna:Inverted V dipole Place Of Reception:Abhayapuri,NL56hi

Date:29/03/2025

WX:Cloudy

7050kHz lsb 0608ist onwards

Noise Level S3-S4..later from around 0625ist onwards Noise Level reduced to S3-S2

0608-0625ist

VU2RZA(Chennai) 55-57,VU2YK(NCR) Not Copied,VU2MSB not copied,9N1CA(Near Kathmandu) 55,VU2JF(Rajkot) 55-56

0625-0645ist approx..

Heard a few weaker stations in signal strength difficult to copy, heard VU2PNU(Belgaum) perhaps only in partsVU2RZA 56-57,VU3JEB(?) not copied also not copied-VU3TBU,VU3IZH,VU3DXL etc etc

also heard again VU2JF plus breaking calls of VU2TKC(Kolkata) & his over 55,VU2RTF(Coimbature) weak but copied some parts

 Later in the morning on 7145kHz lsb before on 0800ist..

Noise Level S1, I heard VU3LGT(Asansol,WB) 9N1CA, VU2TKC & also VU2UWO,OM RAMBABU operating from within 3-4km of  IIT Campus ,Kharagpur(WB).

Later VU3LGT and 9N1CA  shifted to 7150kHz lsb & continued their for sometime.

VU3LGT was loud and clear on both frequencies.But found 9N1CA weaker than on 7145kHz.

VU2UWO Reactivated This Winter:

OM VU2UWO,popularly known as Rambabu(Ram Narayan Basu-full name) was not heard on several years but I have been listening him on 7145kHz lsb during this winter several times testing his transmission.He is using all homebrewing equipments and the  RIG is GCM 2K.I think it was developed by SK VU3GCM of Kolkata long back.

He is the weakest station this morning on 7145kHz lsb but I have copied him perfectly.
An Evening With 14200kHz usb...On March 28th..

Last evening after a long break I monitored 20mb &  on 14200kHz usb from from 1810ist approx. for sometime.. Heard a few amateur stations with good strong signal..I could recall..following stations..

VU2RZA 57 to 59..VU3DOD 43 ? VU3WJR 56, VU2TIW 59, VU2KFR 55 QSB......

later heard also VU3JUS 55 (from Ernakulum?) in QSO with VU2RZA 59 .....

More reports/observations plus more amateur radio related news etc soon.

Besides all the stations mentioned,there might be a few stations,I forgot to mention & also a few stations I could not copy at all,all these logs were a rough diary of what I heard.There might be some errors here and there.
My town,Abhayapuri is also known as the Debdaru Town for its Debdaru trees(Polyalthia longifolia ) along its main road.

From 0858ist approx. onwards VU2YPB was checking his transmitter section of transreceiver with VU3OKB going Up & down by a few kHzs for a few minutes,later return to usual frequency,earlier VU2YPB's audio slightly got distorted(due to slightly low charge level in battery) & he sorted it out by lowering the power slightly (as he often does)but no effect on signal strength level here in my place.He was using his Yaseu commercial transreceiver with battery and homebrewed 40mb horizontal dipole centre feed.His homebrewed antenna has been working fine as per my assessment for a long time.
