Respected Sir,
We were cautioned regarding this by Mr. Mani Sir from ISAC. The license is
issued under name of one of our students who has an amateur license. We are
also planning to give an exam in the coming months to get more licenses so
that we do not have a single person to bank upon for future missions. We
have a HAM club at IIT Bombay which is currently co-ordinating this entire
process.
Thanking You for your advise,
Regards,
Jha Jhonny,
Project Manager, IITB Pratham
