Ham radio in India

The Better India story - The first Social Network: A glimpse into the
fascinating world of India’s amateur radio operators

Twenty six years ago, Keki Darbary and Vilas Rabade, two amateur radio
enthusiasts from Pune, were fiddling with their ham radio sets when they
accidentally established contact with a Soviet astronaut aboard the orbital
space station, MIR. They had a three-minute exchange, and a number of their
fellow ham radio enthusiasts were also tuned into this conversation that
took place on April 14, 1989.

Such are the experiences of the members of this unique social network that
works via radio waves. In the ham radio network, friends are made through
incidental contacts on an amateur radio, that is, a wireless transceiver
(radio transmitter plus receiver) that works as the networking platform.

past, it is now that young students are increasingly waking up to the many
practical uses of this medium.
