ONE OF THE LONGEST DURATION HAM RADIO DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMMES  IN INDIA !

The Culmination of the year long celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of India's Independence was marked by special events during August 1998. One of them was an exhibition organised at India Gate Lawns during 1-16 August, jointly by Vigyan Prasar and NCSTC. The event was successful in familiarising people with the role of science and technology in the development of the country and also projecting a vision of the country for the next 50 years. As part of the exhibition, a Ham radio demonstration was organised by Vigyan Prasar to popularize the hobby. This was one of the longest ham radio demonstration programmes in the country visited by more than 3,000 enthusiasts. More than 700 copies of the booklet entitled "Be a Ham! Talk to the World" , published by Vigyan Prasar were distributed freely to the visitors. The VU2NCT club station of Vigyan Prasar & NCSTC was operated by VU2MSY.
Many local hams provided their helping hand during the exhibition.

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.
