IOTA-AS199 update :

Sara/VU3RSB, Frank/VU3FRK (DL4KQ), and 2 more Indian Amateurs will activate a new Indian IOTA Group from December 5-7th, for 72 hours.

This new IOTA will be the Andhra Pradesh South State Group (AS-199). They plan to have 2 stations (probably occasionally 3rd) operating CW and SSB on 80-10 meters.

Unfortunately NO 30m operation possible (special permit needed) due to Indian Ham laws. Equipment will be Elecraft K2/100, Elecraft K3/100, ICOM IC7000 with Yagis, dipoles and verticals.

This activation requires a long voyage through/to Indian boondocks - start/end of operation may slightly vary. QSL via W3HNK, direct or bureau, for North and South America. QSL via DL4KQ, direct or bureau, for rest of the world. [VU3FRK/DL4KQ]
