In 1970, while preparing for my
marine commercial license, I obtained a Grade 2
License without much preparation. Within next 6 months, I obtained
a Grade 1 license. I
passed my Certificate of Competency in
Wireless Telegraphy (Maritime Mobile) in 1973
& Joined shipping, as a Commercial Radio
Operator. On bases of my commercial license, I
was given Advanced Grade when that license was
introduced by the Government
of India.
Here I have presented a few pictures & details
of my amateur radio station, which I hardly
operate!!

It is strange but this is the First
Amateur Radio Weather Station in INDIA!!.
(View
Asia WX APRS MAP) There are few private weather stations around
the country using commercial weather
equipment. My weather station is true home
made using advanced design, sensors and chips.
Weather station runs on
a Dedicated P4/2.66GHZ PC and has a fast
broadband connection. Station transmits a live
weather data to APRS as well as to Weather
Section of this site.

Amateur
Radio Projects and Software
|
|
|
From the age of 24 to 50, I
had job assignments
all over the globe. Being an amateur since
1970, I made many projects but
never got enough time to put them in a
presentable way.
Here I have presented
some of the amateur radio hobby projects that
I built. They include: PIC Frequency Counter,
RF Power Meter, APRS Tracker, Echolink
Interface, Sound Card Interface, Satellite
Antenna Tracking Interface, Weather Station
and many more to join soon. I have provided
enough details here so that you may built
these projects yourself.
PIC
Firmware used for most projects are here......

APRS,
Radio Astronomy & Seismology
|
|
|
| Involvement
of a Radio Amateurs has resulted in a very
reliable APRS system, maintained by radio
amateurs. Tracking of moving amateur station
and obtaining precise position of station, is
simply a click away!!
My interest in Amateur
Radio Astronomy and Seismology
resulted in making
few projects for this interesting segment of
hobby to explore my understanding & to
participate in every possible way with the
global community to create essential
resources.
