The Vigyan Prasar and NCSTC VHF Ham Repeater
station VU2DLR became operational in Delhi

Ham Radio Repeater Stations are established on mountain tops or tall structures. Vigyan Prasar Repeater is yet to be placed on such a tall structure!

The Vigyan Prasar and NCSTC VHF Ham Repeater station VU2DLR became operational from the Ministry of Science & Technology campus (New Delhi)  on December 9, 1998. Presently it is being operated on an experimental basis from the Technology Bhawan with a low antenna height (approximately 45 feet only). The repeater can be accessed by any licensed ham radio operator operating in and around Delhi. Uplink frequency of the Repeater Station is 145.00 MHz and the downlink frequency is 145.60 MHz. Effort is on to find a suitable location so as to increase the area of coverage of this repeater. The repeater operates in Semi-Duplex mode. Most of the credits for its successful functioning go to Mr. M.B. Singh, VU2MB-an active ham radio operator from Noida who took lots of pain & patience to get it repaired.
