E-QSL card from 9M6WST

Few days ago, i've done a 2 way qso with 9M6WST in V17 qrg, 145.2125Mhz in USB mode. This is the first time i've did a qso out of FM mode. During qso in SSB mode, you'll laugh all the way to the end of qso, because both side of our sound will be sound like transformer or donald duck.

Anyhow this is a good try for me in HAM radio. 73.

A gift from mentor

Yeah, this is a gift from my HAM mentor 9M6WST, as a welcome gift to the world of HAM radio (POISON!!!!). I got my HAM Callsign back in April 2010, holding callsign 9W6PWS.

Just a brief info sharing here. There are 2 type of license in Malaysia for HAM operator, that are Class A and Class B license. Class A operator holding a 9Mxxxx, while Class B holding a 9Wxxxx. For you to hold a Class A license, you need to pass a morse code test with 12wpm. (I'm working hard on this)

Some may notice there are 9W6xxx, 9W2xxx and also 9W8xxx. All this set buy ITU, 9W6xxx is HAM operator in Sabah, 9W2 is in West Malaysia, while 9W8xxx is those in Sarawak, this same goes to 9Mxxxx.

More info? Google it..... hahahaha. 73.

Antenna Shot from Bali, Indonesia.

During my chinese new year holiday, we took one week off. Most of the photos still in process, more than one months in fact still no yet finished.

Here i share some of the photos (antenna) that i took from Bali, I was really shock see so many of them on their roof.










Saw a shop which selling all sort of HAM stuff during my journey, may be one day can qso with him in HF.

RAE 2009-2, I passed !!!

After waiting for nearly 2 months, the result is out on 9th Feb 2009. Our mentor, 9M6WST (Wong) inform us our result. I'm so happy that i've pass.

My first HF RIG !!!

Just kidding, it is a SW radio. (short wave radio). I get poisoned into HAM not long ago, i found this hobby more and more interesting that it deal with almost anythings in the earth. Can you imagine using a SW or HF (high frequency) one single signal can be transmitted from china can reach malaysia without any repeater in between.

This is my first SW radio, currently monitoring 13.6000 Mhz to 13.700 Mhz for one good radio.

Here i share some of the photos i took for this radio.




Not much knob, only tuning, volume and tone selection.

Mobile Antenna-ed

Recenly i've install a mobile antenna on the car, it is a Diamond MC-101, mobile commercial antenna, 1.4meter long. Yeah, i just install the mobile antenna, mobile radio still pending, haha.

I got my mobile antenna installed in one of the top car accessories shop in Lahad Datu, Suntack Aircond Sdn. Bhd.

Amateur Radio, Ham. (Updated)

Recently i got into this new hobby, amateur radio or more commonly know as ham. After get some serious poison form 9M6WST (James), LD2 (Danny) and LD3 (Lee). I got my first Icom handy. I'm still very new in this hobby, the beauty of this hobby is not pressing the PTT and keep on talking, is more on making your own gadget, own electronic device, even make a GPS tracking system that run on radio frequency, which is 9M6WST currently working on.

Here is a blog manage by 9M6WST on V17 amateur radio and SWL discussion group for Lahad Datu.
