This Friday Eyeball on 1st Feb 2008 will be at MOSIN at Jalan Aminuddin Baki ( please note there 2 MOSIN in TTDI) Map attached. This is also our temporary hangout on a daily basis until the New Alibaba opens after CNY with new name...... hopefully.

I am also sad to announce that the hand print wall of "shame " is no more. ....gone forever ! for the moment. Unless we decide to do a new one in future.

We are still waiting for HAMs to organise eyeball TT in their Areas perhaps after CNY. Will anounce on email or martsnews.blogspot.com if any changes or new area of TT. Attached above is also a list of HAMS that turned up to our Eyeball TT at Ampang last Friday compiled by 9w2RY.

Automatic Positioning Reporting System "APRS" talk by a HAM member from Japan at MOSIN TTDI 31 Jan Thursday.

We are hoping to have Mr Art from Japan and his friend Martin From Holland to give a talk on "APRS". Today Thursday 31 Jan 2008 at MOSIN at about 8.30 pm. 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. Sorry for the last minute arrangements.

Meeting with MCMC

In my previous post, I have mentioned that a couple of people from MARTS all around Malaysia came to Kuala Lumpur for the a meeting.

The meeting is set up in MCMC, where our fellow HAM members discuss some of the issues that Amateur Radio members in Malaysia are facing.

One of the few keys that they have discussed.

1. Pirates on the frequency, can anyone do anything?
2. Personalized number plates. See 9W2BSD instead of WQQ 1234
3. Class A and Class B of Amateur Radio in Malaysia

On the same day, MARTS presented the certificate of appointment to our very own Angkasawan as Amateur Radio Ambassador for MARTS.

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 .

Need to confirm soon ....by tomorrow thursday for this Friday TT 18 Jan08.
