It was always the plan to install a portable station at Ali Baba, under lock and key to be used by authorised Licensed Amateur Stations only. However, the plans never really took off, due to many different obstacles.
Lead by 9W2AXE-Azhar, the 'SAS' Crack team comprising, 9W2ICE-Bob, 9W2ZIZ-Aziz, SWL OB-Hyder, 9W2SLS-Sharul, 9W2BIL-Nabil, (Technical) 9W2MTC-Marcus, 9W2XYZ-Allen, 9W2ADC-Khayrul - finally got 'up' from the ground to install a 'Slim Jim' on the roof of Ali Baba, connected to a TM261 2mRig. The purpose of this rig is to provide 'rigless' SWLs as well as provide for a locationa and equipment for future Net hosting. Future plans are afoot to link this rig to EQSO/Echolink.
Credits should be given when due, thanks to 9W2XL-Bear, 9W2XYZ-Alan, 9W2CBO-Chris,9W2XI-Wilson for their contribution of this rig (this was the same rig that was previously used as the Bangi EQSO gateway connected to the English 101 room , hosted by 9W2AQ-Azmi).
Other contributors in cash were from - 9W2ELY - Edely, SWL Pari, 9W2MTC-Marcus, 9W2SSJ-Suchart, 9W2VA-Andy.
To kick off the installation, a Christmas 2m net was conducted by the founder of Celebration Net tm , 9M2DS Pak Dollah. following is the list of those who checked in ;

The foundation is now laid down, In the Amateur Radio Spirit, we should strive toward perfecting the quality of Radio Operatots (and our station too!).
Finally thanks to the unnamed Amateur Radio Hobbyist, for he who does it for the love of the hobby!

Congratulations ... the newer breed of amateurs have done a good job.The controversial figures are missing...goodand please stay away,they do not even check in.(Please guess who I meant....empty barrels )Keep it that way, let the fresh amateurs do their job. I have full confidence in them. One noticable check in is a lady who checked in once a while and appear at AGM to show her accounting skill.Which money should go to which column. BTW the next AGM is around the corner. She and her other Indian friend can come again and tell the whole crowd that the accounts are not acceptable.She should have been the Finance Minister or at least Bank Negara Governor.
If you see a rig or antenna left at Ali Baba it will be my small contribution to the group.
Cheers and Happy New Year.
