Calling fellow Hams who are interested in a field trip jointly organise by pg5m@dx.to . Below is the email invitation send to 9W2GU.



Soon I will be back in Malaysia again and I would like to explore if
we could organize a small trip to one of the offshore island of the
west coast for an operation of two days. It would be nice if we could
organize a small group of people that want to come together to make
the trip to the island, setup one or more stations and operate for 24
or 36 hours.



I'm thinking of the IOTA group AS097 which is the Melacca/Johor State
group comprising Pulau Besar, Kukup, Pisang (Having a lighthouse!) and
Sauh. There might be some smaller islands that belong to the same
group and which are uninhabited (Pulau Serimbu, Pulsau Udan, Oulay
Sauh). In such cases, it takes perhaps just 15 minutes by boat but we
would need to have our own power generation (Generator) with us and we
need to build our own shelters. Such an operation would look like a
field-day type of operation which some would like to combine with a
BBQ and fishing.



Could you ask some people if they would be interested to organize such
a trip for a weekend? I could eventually bring my own rig/antenna. As
soon as I know that there are some people interested to join, I could
exchange my availability in Malaysia. For your information, I have
just renewed my 9M2 license.



Regards,
Gerben

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.

A Warm "Thank You"....

THERE WAS FOOD, DONATIONS, EDUCATION AND FUN...
THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE LIMPAHAN KASIH ORPHANAGE IN PUCHONG.

The buka puasa at the Limpahan Kasih orphanage in Puchong was a great success. The operator of the orphanage, as well as the orphans - thank you all for your help and contributions.

As for a "joy ride" organized for the orphans, we were privileged to have as many as 21 offroad 4x4 vehicles taking part! The orphans had so much fun and adventure throughout the ride on the nearby offroad track, that they did not stop talking about it! Many were also eager to know more about our activities. Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation is extended to the team from the Offroader Shack or ORS (http://www.offroadershack.com/) for taking the kids on the joyride.

We had also set up a number of radio stations to demonstrate to the kids what radio communication is about. Many volunteers also chipped in to help prepare the food.

Last but not least, many many thanks to all the volunteers, ham and non-ham alike, who joined the 4x4 trip, help to cook, set up radio stations and/or coordinate the event, as well as those that donated cash, secondhand items, toys, gifts and school items (they even got bicycles!).

Thank you for making it a memorable time for the orphans. We hope to do more of such events in the future!
