9M2RKK - Fund raising

Dear 9m2Rkk users,

Charity begins at home; Blessing has been bestowed upon 9w2Boi to be the lead person who will coordinate a fund raising collection to purchase a new antenna, co-axial cable & a new rack. If fund permits, we aim to replace the power supply unit for 9m2RKK setup.

Blessing has been granted by Repeater Regional (9M2CJ ) & Region Manager ( 9W2SBS) to kick-off the fund raising.

To kick-off the pool it will be done tonight at Ali Baba and the aim is to collect RM 5000.00 or more.

This is solely on a voluntary basis as we are users of 9M2RKK.

Looking forward to a more efficient 9M2RKK.

Kindly support us.

9w2Boi can be contacted at 016-3333240

9M2RKK is back up

If you haven been monitoring, 9M2RKK is back up since Friday 12th October 2007 thanks to the Repeater manager and assisting HAM members.

However, there were certain complains that certain grey area that wasn't there before. My receiving from my HomeQ in Subang Jaya is receiving S2 instead of full signal last time. I am sure the Repeater team is aware of it and scheduling a time to fine tune the repeater.

If you have been a frequent user of 9M2RKK, do give us your feedbacks on your transmission before and after. It would help us trying to identify the grey area, and apply counter measures to it.

An additional "feature" that the repeater picked up while in Penang, is that in every 15 minutes (??) it would emit it's own callsign.

Al-fatihah

Our fellow HAM member 9W2ZKI - Zuki lost his 3 son on the eve of Aidilfitri. They were found drowned in Mahang river.

Al-fatihah.
