VU2US/AC5 1962 Bhutan

Bhutan was part of India until 1945. There is no recorded activity from Bhutan until the first Bhutanese went on the air in 1961 as AC5PN. Bhutan was then activated by an expedition sponsored by the "Amateur Radio Society of India". The April 1962 VU2US/AC5 team was recruited from licensed army operators from India stationed close to the border. The operators were Lt. General K. Umaro Singh VU2US, Brigadier Ram Z. Kabraji VU2BK, Colonel P. S. Gill VU2PS, and Captain T. A. "Ram" Ramakrishan VU2TN.
