Amateur Radio Reunion Day (ARRD)

Hi All,

The members of the community have sat down and are contemplating an Amateur Radio ReUnion Day (ARRD) to be held sometime in December 2008 in Port Dickson. The brain child of 9M2PD who misses the camaraderie and friendship that was evident during the Annual General Meetings in the past.

So let all support the event regardless of our affiliation and regardless of our personal feelings and lets all try (the key word is 'try') to forgive what happened in the past . At the inaugural meeting it was decided that the respective heads of the organisations and clubs be responsible for collecting the amount to be paid and the respective heads would be channelling the monies collected to the Organising Chair.

The tag line for the event is "Amateur Radio Reunion Day (ARRD) Celebrating 80 years of Amateur Radio in Malaysia" (which incidentally for the correct minded amongst us is Malaya and Singapore). So - lets give it a go, make a date and see you there.

The event is tagged as 'A REUNION TO REMEMBER' and will be held at Port Dickson, (actual venue will be announced) on (tentatively 13th and 14th December 2008. The Reunion Day is planned as such to be a place for all hamsters (SWL's included) to meet up and celebrate 80 years of doing it on air.

The tentative program is as follows:-

Dinner and show (music, dance, fashion, etc)
Flea market
Show and tell
Lucky draw
Who’s who – the veterans
DXpedition

Accommodation: hotel, chalet, or DIY on camping ground.
Event date: Saturday 13 Dec – Sunday 14 Dec 2008.
Registration closing date: 8 Nov 2008 or first 300 paid registration.
Charge: RM30 per person (station) and RM10 for family members.
Children below 7 free
Family members (paying RM10) not eligible to participate in lucky draws.

The Organising Committee are:-

Chairman:
9M2PD

Committee:
Kamil 9M2/V8BDI
Aziz 9M2AU
Pak Yeop 9W2YR
Aiznin 9W2SBS
Azizul 9W2FD

Yes or No ?

Dear friends,

Not too long ago, 4th of April to be exact Marts News posted a relevant question. This is in line to the health of 9M2RKK. Question was - " In light years? " . The answer to your questions is as good as mine. However, hantu today indicated that Mart Council meeting approved the budget for the replacement of 9M2RKK's antenna & cables. However, this budget does not include installation of the antenna & cables - i wonder why?

This has brought renewed faith , speaking of myself , of the current council members of their trials and jubilation which by no means, did not meet with obstacle - having committee members who would just ain't contributing which led to further delays.

Syabas!! for the undying support rendered, not only to the central region and to the quest to bring forth changes & promoting Ham activities in Malaysia.

Just like the recent 'tusnami' in Malaysia, remember, it is the members who is boss.
Kindly continue to uphold your responsibility as a elected council member and our vote is for you.

Looking forward to a 'effective' 9M2RKK


Syabas!!!! once again.

In light years ? - NO !!!

Dear friends,
As we look toward a more efficient 9M2RKK, this might not be too far away.
Hantu flew by and told martsnews.blogspot that the antenna has been approved.
Yup!! changes could, i say could, happen sometime in May.

What about the aging cables? That is still debatable as there is still a final decision to be made as where Marts will source for it.

We certainly welcome the change as this initiative was launch sometime last year, yes! you may ask - why the delay ?
I'm just in awe too but at least there are some truly worthy committee member(s) of Marts who are actively looking to bring improvement.

Syabas! committee - and you know who you are, for looking into Marts central region members plight for a change, a more efficient repeater.

To the goons and fame seekers, you can do yourself a favor by stepping down.

Dear friends,
A big thank you is in place for all of you well wishers who have in their own way cough up some cash with the recent 'heal the old lady campaign' collection which stands at RM850.

As promised, martsnews will publish these names as soon as we get hold of it in the next posting. 9W2Boi who lead the collection has embark on a new job and has taken much of his time and will email to us asap.
.
The funds has been handed over to 9M2Cj who is the Repeater Manager.

Martsnews confirmed that 9W2IL - Marts President , Dato' Muhammad bin Ismail has committed to replace the aging cable & antenna during their last visit sometime in January 2008.

We are still hopeful that the commitment will be realized.

Do keep a lookout for the next posting , will our 'old lady' replacement come true?

This is a last minute arrangements and unfortunately rush for time. We hope we can organise a proper talk next time. This is the plan so far, however, if there is any change will anounce on RKK about 6pm to 7pm. Please monitor RKK if you interested to join the talk. Alternatively you can email me or phone me for updates. This is a casual adhoc arrangement, nothing formal so those interested in APRS do join us as it would be interesting to learn.

Selangor region welcomes Northen and southen region

Just a short write up on the eye ball session that the National MARTS council had over the table.

Some of the committee members were down to Kuala Lumpur, sitting at the mamak restaurant in Taman Tun Dr Ismail having a tea and to discuss the agenda for the next day; A meet up between MCMC and MARTS.

A few concerns and issues to be raised up is the 'pirates' in the air and a few other minor issues. A certificate will also be presented by MARTS to our very own Angkasawan Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor.

We had a great discussion, and there were at least 20 stations present, and it only grew bigger throughout the evening.

Friday Eyeball - Mosin

Alibaba has changed name to Anis Putri2 and is closed for renovations for 3 weeks. I would like to propose our temporary Friday eyeball at 9W2XL place Ithai at Millienium square or MOSIN in TTDI the one behind Mofaz the other side of TTDI jalan aminuddin Baki.

Futhermore , On a trial period the following next Fridays (or day of your choice ) we rotate the TT session areas to Kepong, Ampang , Cheras, Puchong and Kelang. eventually it would be on once a month rotation. Lets just try it out. A few HAM members in their respective areas have offered to organise.

I am taking the initiative to organise a new place for our TT session. We are short of time as Friday is nearby.

Please give your opinions / suggestions / new place to TT?. If you like to organise TT eyeball in your area please give me a call / email. Requirement Minimum Three stations to start TT eyeball Place. Please try to select a place that is Clean, plenty of parking, preferably got Wifi, most of all good food and will try set up a radio station there.

The regular TT place in PJ /TTDI is only temporary until Anis Putri2 begins operation in 3 weeks.

Hope to hear your feed back / choice of place / other places not mention .
