Lamakaan Annual Radio Convention

CLUB HISTORY

From a Cultural Café to a Global Call Sign

In a city better known for biryani and pearls, a small group of radio enthusiasts found an unlikely home in 2011 — not in a laboratory or a government building, but at Lamakaan, Hyderabad’s beloved “open space for the arts.” What began as informal Sunday gatherings of a handful of hams swapping stories about antennas and distant contacts slowly crystallised into the Lamakaan Amateur Radio Club, registered with the call sign VU2LCH.
