Cuti Habis

Seminggu cuti tahun baru cina ini makin hampir. Sepanjang cuti ini aku dan xyl tidak ke mana. Inilah peluang aku monitor melalui webSDR apabila ada kelapangan.

Selepas solar flare hari isnin yang lalu 40m band di Eropah dan Amerika mengalami gangguan. Betullah kata pakar bahawa propagasi untuk 40m ke atas akan terganggu.

Semasa CQ 40 ON7USB webSDR di German kebanyakan stesen yang dapat dicopy adalah di Eropah sahaja. Satu stesen special callsign iaitu 9A208DX sempena 20 tahun 9A. Bila pula nak sambut sempena 9W pula hihi? Bila merujuk kepada QRZ.com db ON7USB yang tertera web logbook (HRDLOG.net) baru aku perasaan bila tertera on air masa itu memang dia sedang ke udara tertulis frekuensi sekali. Oh sekarang baru aku faham macam mana kita hendak tahu sama ada rakan sedang ke udara.

Semasa  Malaysia 40m net malam rabu itu aku cuba-cuba juga hendak monitor tetapi tidak kedengaran audio dari Malaysia. Aku guna webSDR dari Sepanyol, Poland dan Romania. Agaknya propagasi kurang menarik dari Malaysia ke Eropah selepas ribut solar yang tertinggi dicatat setakat ini. Maklum balas dari rakan 9M tentang check net malam itu masih belum ada dientri yang lepas. Esok ahad kalau ada kelapangan satu lagi net di pagi hari bolehlah monitor.

Semasa mencari-cari stesen di webSDR Warwick, Rhode Island kedengaran audio yang jauh kebelakang iaitu VP6T. Ini adalah stesen dxpedition di Pulau Pitcairn. Dxpdc ini bermula dari 20 Januari hingga 4 Februari 2012.

Pulau ini terletak di Lautan Pasifik Selatan iaitu 13948.1km dari base aku kalau jarak long path ialah 26055.1km. Jadi pulau ini terletak diantara Malaysia dan Rhode Island. Aku guna internet ke Rhode Island manakala gelombang radio dari Pulau Pitcairn ke Rhode Island. Itulah seronoknya radio dapat menghubungkan mana-mana rakan di serata dunia. Bagusnya dxpdc adalah dapat membantu rakan mendapat callsign yang jarang kedengaran bagi mencapai award-award yang ditawarkan ataupun DXCC

Semalam aku monitor ON7TQ di Belgium menggunakan webSDR YO3GGX di Bucharest Romania. Menurut beliau propagasi 40m pada malam itu kurang memberangsangkan terutama audio dari Amerika Utara. Beliau menggunakan 7.166MHz aku dapat mengesannya pada jam 01:02Z hinggalah beliau QRT jam 3 untuk masuk tidur. Selepas beliau QRT kedengaran banyak stesen berpusu-pusu masuk di 7.163MHz . Antara stesen yang kedengaran 59 adalah  SP2SJC, R3ZF, KP4MS, S56P, SP6HEQ dan banyak lagi. Ini menunjukan selepas pukul 3 pagi band mula aktif.

Pagi ini pula aku monitor stesen KP2AD St Thomas US Virgin Island. Aku menggunakan webSDR Rhode Island USA jadi tidak hairanlah audio di Caribean dapat dicapai. Kebanyakan audio tidak kedengaran aku copy apa yang disebut oleh beliau sahaja. Propagasi masih kurang memberangsangkan lagi bagi 40m band.

High Power > 100 Watts output.

Low Power < 100 Watts output.

QRP SSB maximum 10 Watts output, CW maximum 5 Watts output.

Belgian holders of a Basic License are allowed to enter another category then BASE, but this must be indicated clearly in the log.

4 - Bands

Bands to be used: 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. The IARU band plan as well as the frequencies proposed by the UBA HF Contest committee must be adhered to. At this time, the preferential frequencies are:

SSB: 3.600 - 3.650, 3.700 - 3.775, 7.060 - 7.100, 7130 - 7200, 14.125 - 14.300, 21.175 - 21.350 and 28.400 - 28.700 MHz.

CW: 3.510 - 3.560, 7.000 - 7.025, 14.000 - 14.060, 21.000 - 21.080 and 28.000 - 28.070 MHz.

The band segments 3.500 - 3.510 and 3.775 - 3.800 shall not be used unless for DX contacts (this means no one shall call "CQ Contest" in those segments).

5 - Contest call and exchange

CW "TEST UBA" - SSB "CQ UBA".

Exchange:

ON stations: RS(T) + serial number starting from 001 + Belgian province. The province is part of the exchange and must be mentioned in the log.

DX stations: RS(T) + serial number starting from 001.

6 - Scoring

Stations with QTH in Belgium

A QSO with a Belgian station 1 point,

A QSO with a station in one of DXCC countries from the European Union as listed below 2 points,

All other QSO's 3 points.

Stations with QTH outside Belgium

A QSO with a Belgian station 10 points,

A QSO with a station in one of DXCC countries from the European Union as listed below 3 points,

All other QSO's 1 point.

An additional bonus will be given depending on the percentage of QSO s with Belgium on your total valid QSO's. Example: 50 QSO's with Belgium (500 QSO points) on a total of 320 QSO's means 15.6 % of QSO's with Belgium and will give you (15,6 % of 500 Belgian QSO points) an extra of 78 QSO points on your total QSO points. This calculation will be done after the log checking.

7 - Multipliers

Stations with QTH in Belgium

All DXCC countries once on each band.

Stations with QTH outside Belgium

Once on each band.

All Belgian provinces: AN, BW, HT, LB, LG, NM, LU, OV, VB and WV. The region of Brussels: BR.

All Belgian prefixes e.g. ON4, ON5, ON6, ON7, ON8, ON9, OR0, OT4, etc...

Monitor 7.130MHz melalui webSDR

Aku teringin juga monitor Malaysian 40 meter Net yang dijalankan mengikut jadual yang terdapat dalam blog http://7130khz.blogspot.com/  Menurut jadual yang tertera pada hari ini Rabu 25 Januari dijadualkan jam 9.30 malam waktu tempatan. Pengawal rangkaian yang dipertanggungjawabkan adalah 9M2ODY.

Oleh disebabkan aku masih belum mempunyai peralatan HF maka untuk monitornya aku menggunakan internet sahaja melalui webSDR  http://websdr.org/. Melalui receiver webSDR kita boleh memantau aktiviti rakan-rakan difrekuensi.

Maka tepat jam 9.30 malam aku mencari mana-mana stesen receiver webSDR yang mempunyai jalur 40M yang frekuensinya mencapai 7.130MHz. Hanya terdapat tiga stesen yang boleh membantu aku untuk monitor 40m net ini. Semuanya QTH di Eropah iaitu di Sepanyol, Poland dan Romania. Stesen di Amerika senyap sepi sahaja, cuma di Eropah banyak kedengaran audio.

Stesen pertama aku cuba monitor di frekuensi ini adalah webSDR at IDeTIC, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Sepanyol. Aku terus ke 7.130MHz tetapi tidak kedengaran sebarang audio.

Stesen kedua pula ialah webSDR SP3PGX club station at University of Zielona Gora di Poland. Masih lagi tidak kedengaran sebarang audio kalau-kalaulah audio dari rakan 9M ke udara.

Stesen terakhir adalah webSDR on Softrock Lite II located in Bucharest di Romania. Ketika ini masih lagi tiada sebarang audio kemudian kedengaran rakan berbahasa Sepanyol menyebut ciku ciku.

Maka kesimpulannya audio rakan dari Malaysia tidak kedengaran langsung di Eropah. Propagasi tidak membuka ke Eropah atau sebaliknya untuk jalur 40m malam ini. Merujuk kepada Solar Terrestrial Data Band 40m malam ini adalah poor ketika itu.

Harap rakan 9M yang check-in malam tadi boleh memberi maklum balas  adakah net ini dijalankan seperti yang dijadualkan? Mana tahu satu hari nanti  Malaysian 10M net pula akan diadakan. Ini dapat memberi peluang kepada rakan 9W yang aktif HF untuk check-in pula.

Major Solar Storm Hits Earth

The largest solar radiation storm since 2005 has struck the Earth, touching off radio blackouts, geomagnetic storms and aurora displays in upper latitudes. According to CQ Propagation Editor Tomas Hood, NW7US, a long-duration magnitude M8.7 (M9-class) X-ray flare erupted in NOAA Active Sunspot Region (AR) 1402 on January 23, peaking at 0359 UTC. This flare triggered a proton event, resulting in an S3 (Strong) Radiation (Proton) Storm and a Polar Cap Absorption (PCA) event over the polar regions.


This PCA event caused a complete radio blackout over high-latitude and polar regions. This results in any trans-polar radio paths to become as dead as a rock. This solar proton radiation storm is the strongest of the current solar cycle.

In addition, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center said plasma from an associated coronal mass ejection was expected to arrive on January 24, with storm conditions extending into the 25th.Watch for additional degradation of HF radio conditions and enhanced auroral conditions on VHF.

World Radiocommunication Conference 2012 (WRC-12)



World Radiocommunication Conference opens in Geneva


Focus on spectrum and satellite orbital resources will have global implications for a wireless future

Geneva, 23 January 2012 – The World Radiocommunication Conference opened in Geneva today to review and revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits.



The work of this international treaty-making Conference will be conducted over four weeks until 17 February to address the changes required to the regulation of orbit/spectrum resources in the interest of the users of these scarce resources, with global implications for policy-makers, regulators, the industry as well as end-users.



Mr Tarek Al Awadhi of the United Arab Emirates was appointed Chairman of the World Radiocommunication Conference along with six Vice Chairmen: Mr D. Anstrom (United States), Mr E. Fournier (France), Mr A. Nalbandian (Armenia), Mr M. Ouhadj (Algeria), Mr H. Al-Shankiti (Saudi Arabia) and Mr A.R. Jamieson (New Zealand).



Over 3000 participants, representing more than 150 out of the ITU’s 193 Member States are expected to attend the four-week conference, making it one of the most significant ITU events. About 100 Observers from among ITU’s 700 private sector members along with international organizations will also attend the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12).



“The World Radiocommunication Conference will review and modify global spectrum regulations to ensure that this most precious resource is used effectively to benefit all players,” ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré said. “The aim is to ensure reliable radio services are available everywhere and at any time enabling people to live and travel safely while enjoying high performance radiocommunications.”



François Rancy, Director of ITU’s Radiocommunication Bureau, said, “The decisions taken by the ITU Membership during WRC-12 will play a vital role in contributing towards improved access and development of ICT wireless infrastructure, in particular in meeting the challenges of mobile broadband and ensuring that ICTs work for the benefit of all the world’s people. The objective is to enable the introduction of the latest technological developments, while protecting investments and favouring economies of scale.”



Fuelled by rapid technological developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) along with increasing convergence of radiocommunication services in today’s communication devices, there is an urgent need to ensure the best efficiencies in the use of spectrum, a finite resource. WRC-12 will examine the technical, regulatory and operational aspects to address frequency allocation and frequency sharing to ensure high quality of radiocommunication services for maritime and aeronautical transport as well as for scientific purposes related to the environment, meteorology and climatology, disaster prediction, mitigation and relief.



The management of satellite orbital slots and associated spectrum resources will be a key area of focus for WRC-12.The Conference goal will be to ensure that the modifications made to the international procedures for the coordination and registration of satellite systems provide for equitable and efficient use of these resources.



WRC-12 will also advance the introduction of mobile broadband and other advanced technologies such as the development of Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV), promote the use of the digital dividend resulting from the switch over to digital TV, as well as consider the potential for radiocommunications to act as a catalyst to reduce the impact of human activity on the environment.

DX-pedition Nauru Island, C21HA


10/01/2012 - 8/02/2012

by HA5AO and HA5UK

Nauru


The first week went away of our 4 weeks activation of Nauru. The antennas in the sea need daily maintenance. The sea is very rough and destructive. The high tide is cc. 2 meters with 1-1.5 meter high very strong waves. We can do the maintenance during the low tide, at noon. The temperature is in the sun around is 40 Co or even more, so it is very hard to working 2-3 hours in the sun every day.


The propagation was not really good in this week. The low bands, 160 and 80 meters are very noisy. The equatorial noise level is S5-S9. Not really possible to work on the low bands. The higher bands are quite O.K. to NA/SA direction. AS and OC is not a problem from here. However the EU openings are very poor. The signal level from EU is around the noise level. Very difficult to copy the EU stations. Everyone from Europe are like a very small pistol here. The operating attitude also does not help us to copy the stations. We are fully aware of the EU opening times on different bands. We are fully aware of the propagation. We try to do our best but needs your help to working with EU station. EU stations, please be patient, please listen, listen and listen. Repeat your full callsign three, four times with 20-25 wpm maximum. If we can copy a fragment only, please do not call if it does not match with your callsign. Repeat your full callsign two three times. Please check the on line log. Do not work again if you are in the log. You must cooperate. We also have strong QRM from near station, probably from VK, in the pile-up window and as well as on our QRG. It is a pity and we can not understand this attitude.

VP6T

DATES and OBJECTIVES


20th January to 04th February 2012, DXCC entity = Pitcairn Island, all 9 HF bands, 160-10 m.

After their successful operation from French Polynesia in February 2010 as TX4T, three of the four operators, joined by two new operators, are pleased to announce a new major DXpedition to CQ Zone 32 and to the famous and mythical Pitcairn Island in the heart of the Pacific Ocean

This DX operation from Pitcairn has a target of more than 30,000 QSOs. With good propagation forecast for early 2012, efforts will be made to give this extremely rare entity to deserving DXers on as many bands as possible, but especially on the low bands. The rarity of VP6 ensures that all operators will be kept fully occupied during our nine full days on the island. We will be travelling there by boat. We are planning to have three stations active round-the-clock.

Travelling to Pitcairn is not easy. There are only limited travel opportunities to get there. January has been chosen as the optimum time for HF propagation to the major centres of amateur radio activity, at the heart of winter in the Northern hemisphere.

The principal objective is to offer DXers worldwide the chance to make at least one contact with this remote DXCC entity that hasn’t seen any large-scale amateur DX-pedition operation for the past decade.

All nine HF bands will be activated to offer new band slots to the DXCC Challenge chasers. The team will make a particular effort to focus on contacts with Europe and the US East Coast. Openings to Europe will be short. We will pay special attention to sunrise and sunset times. We count on the discipline and fair play of US West Coast operators to give a chance to the propagation-challenged continents.

TN2T


After 6 months of trying to get a license for TN, we're delighted to inform you that our next DX pedition is a GO! During our previous expedition as 9Q50ON, we made a special effort to hand out a new country on the lower bands. We logged over 500 QSO's on 160, and about 1350 QSO's on 80m. This time we will improve our RX ability with the K7TJR receiving system using 4 verticals, to have a better S/N ratio and the possibility to switch in 4 directions. We can use this RX system simultaneous on two radio's!(80m and 160m)

On the higher bands the QSO impact will be much higher than the 9Q50ON operation, where we had few QSO's on 10m! Even 6m could be possible!
Most of the team members have been active on several Dxpedition adventures.
Our operating site is near the sea. This will improve our signal strength in most parts of the globe, especially on the lower bands.
Dates : Sunday January 22nd until Tuesday 31st

Eyeball Di Ambang 2012

Di Dewan Kinrara pada 31.12.2011  9M4RBC

Eyeball menyambut ambang 2012 telah berlangsung di Dewan Bandara Kinrara 2 dianjurkan Astra wilayah Tengah ( mungkin tukar ke nama lain ). Acara bermula jam 10.35 malam yang dipengerusikan oleh 9W2JQQ mengalu-alukan kedatangan rakan-rakan. Kemudian dimulakan Bacaan Doa bagi memberkati program pada malam ini.

Selepas bacaan doa ucapan dari Pengurus Komuniti Astra kawasan Tengah iaitu 9W2XYM. Beliau mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih atas kejayaan 9W2EDK dan rakan-rakan membantu membaik pulih pengulang 9M4RBC dengan ikhlas tanpa meminta sebarang balasan. Inilah semangat ham yang sejati membantu menaikkan lagi semangat ham dikalangan kita yang harus dicontohi bersama.

Seterusnya acara ucapan dari Penasihat Komuniti Astra kawasan Tengah iaitu 9M2YRS. Sempena tahun baru beliau menyarankan transformasi dikalangan ham. Perubahan yang baik perlu dilakukan terutama tentang SOP semasa menggunakan frekuensi. Banyak kesilapan dan kesalahan masih berlaku ketika QSO, oleh itu sama-samalah kita perbaikinya kerana semua SOP adalah sama diseluruh dunia.

Contohnya salam contact perdana perlulah kita mengenalkan working condition bukannya memperkenalkan tentang keluarga kita. Pengetahuan juga perlu ditingkatkan lagi terutama tentang teknikal. Bila bercerita tentang antena kita perlu tahu tentang jenis antena bukannya jenama. Kebanyakan dari kita lebih berbangga tentang jenama yang dipakai atau mungkin kita tidak tahu apa sebenarnya jenis antena itu. 

Rakan ham juga perlu mesra dan ramah-tamah dengan rakan swl dan rakan komersial. Kita perlu mengajak mereka mengenalkan tentang radio dan membentu mereka sehingga berjaya mendapat lesen. Cara ini dapat meramaikan lagi rakan ham terutama eyeball, kita boleh bercerita tentang apa-apa yang menarik tentang radio.

Selepas itu sesi memperkenal 9M diadakan. Pentingnya mengenali 9M dikalangan swl apabila telah lulus perlu mendapatkan dua tandatangan oleh mereka. Selain itu mereka juga boleh tunjuk ajar dan membantu segala masalah yang dihadapi oleh swl. Antara 9M yang diperkenalkan adalah 9M2RIE, 9M2TRX. 9M2AUR, 9M2AIS dan 9M2YRS. Semua 9M yang ada pada malam malam itu penulis pernah QSO. Terasa bangga dapat mengenal mereka dengan lebih dekat lagi.

Semoga tahun baru ini merancakkan lagi dunia radio amatur di negara kita. Harap pelbagai aktiviti diadakan dengan lebih kerap lagi. Sama-sama kita berusaha meningkatkan mutu radio amatur di mata dunia. Terima kasih juga pada pihak penganjur dan juga kepada rakan-rakan yang bersama-sama menjayakan program ini. Ramai juga dapat bersalaman didaratan dan mendapat pengetahuan baru.
