VU2MYH/VU4MYH, has established a station on Car Nicobar Island, one of the worst hit areas that had been totally cut off. Traffic has been noted on 14.190, 14.195 and 14.200 MHz. Raman has been operating at low power to avoid interfering with a nearby army communication site.
Majumdar says the VU4MYH station marks the very first Amateur Radio operation from Nicobar Island. 'Mohan's signals were extremely weak, and he was in the skip zone of the Andaman stations on 20 meters,' he said. 'Improvisation was the name of the game. Hams had to switch to good old CW and switch frequencies from 14.190 and 14.160 MHz to 7.090 MHz.' He said in the afternoon, signals were best on 15 meters (21.240 MHz) between the Andaman and Nicobar Islands stations. "
