Hey DX Friends!

Bummer news, but we've got to postpone the Lakshadweep Island DXpedition . Our Spiderbeam and DX Commander antennas, crucial for 160m/80m ops, got stuck due to shipment delays . Material arrived end Dec, but UPS/Fedex put it on hold for holidays + customs issues .

BUT - we've got some good stuff too! Loop antennas are in, and we've added 2 x 1KW Amplifiers & 500Watt Power Amplifier to beef up our power . Customs dept friends are helping us clear the mess, and remaining gear arrived in Kochi Jan 2026 .

We're waiting on WPC updates on foreign reciprocal licenses. If needed, we'll explore shifting to another island where foreign nationals are allowed . Police verifications are done, we're ready to roll!

We'll share new dates ASAP once customs clears our gear. Stay tuned, thanks for your patience and support !

Cheers,
