The operator behind this project, Simon Luttrel HS0ZIB explains:
Further update to my posting is that I’ve set up a web-site at http://www.dxmyanmar.com with further details of my proposed project.
My plans may sound ambitious to those living far away from the steamy jungles of Myanmar! But for me, my target location of Kawthaung is just a few hours away by car from my QTH and I visit the town on many occasions. It is very realistic to construct a small resort and building materials and labor are readily available.
Now all I need to do is to get the Myanmar authorities to ‘play ball’ and issue the radio licence. That’s probably going to be much harder than building the resort!
Keep an eye on Simon’s Blog too for updates.
I just got back from Myanmar yesterday. The hotel project is slowly moving ahead, but my immediate plan is to find a house to rent in Kawthaung from where I can both manage this hotel project and operate the ham station in the interim.
The Myanmar authorities have asked me to obtain letters in support of my licence application from radio clubs and societies around the world, as well as from individual DXers and radio hams. I am contacting the clubs, but I also welcome any individual letters of support for this radio project – these letters will be submitted to the Myanmar authorities with my licence application.
If you would like to send a letter of support, I suggest you either snail-mail it (to Simon Luttrell, P O Box 14, Phuket Airport, Phuket 83110, Thailand), fax it (to my USA fax number +1 877 -350-9767), or send it as a pdf attachment to my project email address which is to be found on the web-site at http://www.dxmyanmar.com
Thanks again for all support
Simon
Best of luck with your efforts. I wish you all the success.
It would be so nice to see this country back on DX. I know it because, I lived in VU2 land originally and never had a chance to work this one even when it was Burma!
Thank you for trying.
