Recently Kolkata Ham set up a VHF repeater in Kolkata.
Call : VU2CVH (Calcutta VHF Amateur Radio Society Repeater)
Uplink 145.050 MHz / Downlink 145.650 MHz,
Custodian : VU2HFR.
They have interfaced it with Echolink. Right now the internet service at VU2HFR is dialup but within a month or so the same will be a BSNL broadband link. Right now the best timing for the net for us is 2230 hrs when the internet tariff is least on dialup (1 call every 10 mins). VU2CVH-R can be QRV on Echolink at 2230 hrs.
