Noel Harold Lokuge is my name. I am operating Ham Radio since 1980. My previous call sign was 8Q7AV. I was QRV on almost all the Amateur Satellites from the Maldive Islands and Sri Lanka. As I was an Airforce pilot and Commercial pilot I have operated Aero Mobile.

My station has a FT 726 for satellite operation and a Maspro WHS 32 antenna for 2 meters and 70 centimeter band for the sats.

For HF I operate a Icom 751 and a TS 480HX. My antenna is a TH3DX junior tribander, and for 40 meters I use an inverted dipole.

I am now retired after almost 45 years in the aviation trade as a fixed wing pilot and a Helicopter pilot.

My QSL info is direct and I am ok in any call book. If you need a QSL Card please include a SAE  and the cost of return postage. 

No EQSL

I am now operating on a Digital mode. JT65-HF on 20,15 and 10 meter bands.

Since 1986 I have not operated with my previous call sign 8Q7AV . Please do not send me QSL cards dated after 1986.
