The District of Alappuzha (Alleppey), Known as the Venice of the East is in the state of Kerala, India, well known for its picturesque vast paddy fields and its geographical peculiarities. It's the region with the lowest altitude in India, and one of the few places in the world where farming is carried out below sea level. It’s also one of the historically important places in the ancient history o
f South India. It is the major rice granary of Kerala, where vast stretches of verdant paddy fields are interlaced with enchanting backwaters create some of the unforgettable sights. Alappuzha District is sharing its eastern border with Vembanadu Lake and western border with Arabian Sea. The revenue earnings of the people are mainly from Agricultural, Fishing, Coir and Coir Products and other Small Scale Industries. An association of HAM RADIO operators had formed in the year of 1983. In February of 2014 we have decided to form and register it as a society by enrolling other operators in the district and through this to participate as a group in the Ham Radio Meets, Seminars and Exhibitions in State Level, National Level and International Level. Thus SPARES [Society for Promotion of Amateur Radio and Emergency Services] Alappuzha had been formed. And also to provide necessary communication facilities to Government machineries and People on disasters like Earthquake, Tsunami, Floods and in where telecommunication is not possible or to help other HAMS who are engaged in these kind of activities.
