About the Malabar Ham Radio Meet
The one-day meet was organised by ham radio operators of Calicut in association with Malabar Amateur Radio Society. It brought together licensed radio amateurs and short-wave listeners (SWLs) from inside and outside Keralam at IMHANS, next to the Medical College Hospital in Kozhikode.
The meet was started in memory of Mr. Karan, the sixth ham radio operator of Calicut (1996). This year, broadcast listeners also marked the anniversary of BCDXNet — the 40-metre net on 7085 kHz led by Sanal Deep of Kozhikode for the last thirty years.
