They will allow them to operate 2 days between July 17-18th, 2010 (July 18-19th, 2010 Thailand time) which support from RAST by John/HS1CHB and Champ/ E21EIC.

Champs states that no operations on 6 meters have ever been allowed for 30 years since previous RAST Founder Gen.Kamchai Chotikul or Kam, HS1WR (SK). However, the last 6 meters operation did take place during the 1992 SEANET convention in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
