Radio Room 9M4SEA

QSL card aku dapat semasa berkunjung di radio room sempena 40th SEANET convention yang berlangsung dari 23 November 2012 hingga 27 November 2012. Ia berlangsung di Hotel Dynasty Kuala Lumpur.

Kedudukan radio room ini terletak di tingkat 30 dan menarik merupakan tingkat yang paling atas letaknya juga kolam renang. Kedudukan yang terbuka memudahkan antena dipacakkan di atas ini. Ruang yang agak sempit di dalam tidak menyukarkan untuk mengendalikan radio dan juga mempamerkan 10 buah radio untuk tatapan peminat radio.

Sampai di sana pagi tadi aku sempat bersalaman dengan beberapa rakan terutama rakan teknikal 9M2RDX, 9W2RUT dan 9M2KRZ dan juga otai-otai 9M. Aku sempat bersalaman juga dengan rakan Gemilang Brunei yang baru tiba untuk memesan baju t-shirt dan topi program.

Hari ini delegasi-delegasi membuat lawatan di Bandaraya bagi melengkapkan jadual program.

Ramai rakan yang hadir memberi sokongan melihat radio room ini. Aku juga dapat melihat pelbagai model radio yang agak antik tetapi masih dapat berfungsi lagi. Melihat secara langsung barulah aku tahu betapa bernilai radio itu untuk tatapan bersama. Pasti ia sukar dicari dan nilainya semakin tinggi walaupun teknologi semakin canggih.

Terima kasih kepada rakan-rakan yang bersama-sama dapat berkongsi cerita dan pengalaman mengenai radio ini. Minggu depan jangan lupa Field Day 2012.

Mencari dan Menyelamat

Anggota ekspedisi Gunung Benom yang hilang dijumpai pagi ini

JERANTUT 19 Nov. -- Seorang anggota ekspedisi Jabatan Muzium Negara yang hilang ketika mendaki Gunung Benom dekat sini tiga hari lepas, ditemui dalam keadaan selamat hari ini.
Nur Liyana Mohd Tahir, 25, ditemui penduduk yang terlibat dalam operasi mencari dan menyelamat berdekatan hutan di Kampung Perlok Ulu Cheka dekat Jerantut pukul 9.30 pagi ini.
Ketua Polis Daerah Jerantut Supt. Mohd Azid Ismail berkata mangsa berada dalam keadaan keletihan dan telah dihantar ke Hospital Jerantut untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. - BERNAMA


Petikan berita diatas melaporkan bahawa operasi mencari dan menyelamat telah berjaya menjumpai mangsa dalam keadaan selamat. Apa yang penulis hendak tekan disini adalah kerjasama semua pihak yang jitu telah membuahkan hasil sehingga berjaya menemui pendaki yang hilang.

Berita kehilangan pendaki di Gunung Benom ini mendapat perhatian kerana ia melibatkan nyawa manusia. Semua orang menanti dan mengharap agar mangsa dapat ditemui dengan selamat.

Perkembangan terkini dilaporkan dinternet melalui facebook oleh insan-insan yang mengharapkan mangsa diketemui. Namun, semangat untuk membantu sesama insan telah mendorong beberapa individu melancarkan gerakan mencari dan menyelamat.

Sekalung tahniah diucapkan kepada individu secara sukarela membantu mencari mangsa turut dibantu oleh penduduk kampung seperti yang dilaporkan oleh media. Tidak lupa juga pihak berkuasa yang melancarkan gerakan mencari dan menyelamat ini.

Pihak Persatuan Radio Amatur Pahang (Peramah) telah membenarkan pengulang digunakan untuk tujuan menyelamat ini. Inilah pentingnya fungsi radio amatur apabila berlaku saat kecemasan.

Peramah juga telah terlibat dalam operasi mencari dan menyelamat di Air Terjun Pelangi, Sungai Lembing. Mangsa telah dijumpai jam 12.58 tadi didasar tasik dan dukacitanya mangsa tidak dapat diselamatkan. Operasi ditamatkan pada jam 1340 yang telah dilaporkan oleh Mohamad Norzam Abas dalam facebook Peramah.

Begitu tinggi pengorbanan rakan ham kita dalam tiga hari ini untuk membantu dalam operasi dan menyelamat. Kepakaran yang dimiliki digunakan bagi berbakti kepada masyarakat setempat. Kemudahan dan peralatan yang dimiliki digunakan sepenuhnya bagi melancarkan operasi ini.

Bagi rakan pendaki pula, kepakaran dalam selok-belok hutan dan kemampuan fizikal amat diperlukan bagi operasi sebegini. Ada dalam kalangan mereka ini mempunyai kemahiran navigasi survival dan dapat memberi bantu mula disaat diperlukan. Ada yang mahir setiap cerok sudut lantai hutan dan gunung-gunung di Malaysia ini. Jadi sudah pasti khidmat mereka sangat diperlukan ketika berlaku sesuatu kecemasan.

Ada dalam kalangan mereka juga pemegang lesen radio amatur yang memudahkan lagi urusan komunikasi. Gabungan seperti ini memudahkan lagi urusan menyelamat dan mempercepatkan lagi agar mangsa dapat diselamatkan.

Koordinasi semua pihak terlibat dapat melancarkan urusan menyelamat. Adanya radio amatur menjadi perantara komunikasi dengan agensi kerajaan yang lain. Setiap agensi kerajaan mempunyai jalur sendiri dan berbeza.

Kerjasama yang erat semua pihak ini harus diteruskan agar setiap bencana dan musibah pada masa hadapan diatasi dengan bijak dan baik. Penambahbaikan seharusnya dilakukan agar memudahkan kerja di masa hadapan. Semua pihak harus siap siaga bagi menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan lebih-lebih lagi dimusim hujan ini.
 
Pada 1 dan 2 Disember ini pihak Malaysian Amateur Radio League akan mengadakan National Field Day 2012 bertempat di Tasek Taman Jaya, Petaling Jaya. Aktiviti radio amatur ini menjalankan simulasi perhubungan radio seluruh negara apabila berlakunya sesuatu bencana. Pada ketika ini semua stesen hanya akan menggunakan kuasa bateri atau generator sahaja. Semua pihak dijemput untuk melihat bagaimana aktiviti radio amatur ini dijalankan. Tentu seronok melihat sesuatu perkara yang baru.

Sebenarnya aktiviti ini sangat penting kerana kita dapat mengetahui kemampuan kita dalam menghadapi sesuatu bencana. Perkhidmatan radio amatur akan menjadi tunggak utama apabila semua sistem komunikasi yang lain akan terputus.

Akhir kata semua pihak harus bersedia dalam menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan di masa hadapan. Kerjasama erat semua pihak amat diperlukan bagi memastikan kesiapsiagaan menghadapi sebarang bencana.

Berikut catatan ringkas xpdc;

1900pm- Puncak Gn Si Hitam
2045pm- Bergerak menghala ke Bkt Resam Ambat

12Nov
1230am- Bermlm di Campsite Felda (peneroka generasi ke2..hehe) 0800am- Meneruskn perjalanan ke Resam Ambat.
1200pm- Smpai di Puncak Bkt Resam Ambat.

Tahniah kpd semua yg terlibat kerana menjadi team pertama yg merentasi Gn Hitam-Bkt Resam Ambat-Bkt Batu Bulan-Genting Peres (TransLangat). Trek mmg hardcore habis! Gabungan trek balak, trek hutan, menebas buluh & resam yg seolah tak berkesudahan..hehehe TQ pd semua kerana sama2 menebas & saling mmberi semangat antara satu sama lain hingga ke penghujung.
Trip bebas nasi @ "riceless" & tanpa tidur yg sempurna. That's a matter of mind set! :) Tercapai sudah misi idaman, TransLangat sejak sekian lama meskipun terlajak hampir separuh hari! hehehe.. Alhamdulillah!
Special thanks kpd Presiden KE7B Qobin Mokhtar yg memberi greenlight utk trip ini, serta rakan dr OGKL yg turut serta mengiringi. Together, Impossible Is Nothing...now TransLangat officially opened...leave your comfort zone & dare to explore...

Tahniah kepada Deeno and gang atas kejayaan xpdc TransLangat ini. Xpdc yang bermula dari kawasan perkelahan Sg Lawing dekat Sg Lui merupakan satu tempat perkelahan yang menarik suatu masa dahulu. Berdasarakan gambar xpdc ini tempat ini seperti tidak terurus.

Pada zaman kegemilangan tempat ini, banyak program perkhemahan telah diadakan. Berdasarkan catatan deeno xpdc yang sangat mencabar ini telah berjaya diharungi dengan jayanya hingga ke Genting Peres selama tiga hari bermula 11 November hingga 13 November yang lalu.

Aku pernah  ikut deeno trekking dari Genteng Peres ke puncak Gunung Hitam seramai  empat orang. Memang sangat mencabar disebabkan laluannya adalah jarang digunakan. Kami hanya berpandukan GPS, peta dan kompas serta pengalaman masing-masing dalam misi ke puncak Gunung Hitam.

Melihatkan gambar xpdc teringat kepada aku semasa kami ke sini dahulu. Walaupun arah laluan bertentangan tetapi misinya tetap sama iaitu melalui Gunung Hitam-Bukit Resam Ambat-Bukit Batu Bulan-Genting Peres.

Sebenarnya bagi pendaki seperti kami ini, jika puncak gunung atau bukit yang bernama memang menjadi matlamat utama untuk ditawan. Lebih-lebih lagi dijalur permatang yang panjang membolehkan merentasi semua gunung yang ada.

Kedudukan TransLangat ini dibanjaran Titiwangsa terletak sempadan negeri Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan. Sepanjang perjalanan tidak kelihatan batu sempadan negeri. Mungkin Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan tidak pernah memikir untuk menyempadankan dikawasan ini hanya berdasarkan bentuk muka bumi semulajadi sahaja. Batu sempadan di Genting Peres juga tidak kelihatan ataupun memang aku tidak jumpa. Biasanya batu sempadan menjadi tanda sempadan sesebuah negeri.

Tahniah deeno kerana telah merealisasikan impian aku untuk menawan Gunung Hitam-Bukit Resam Ambat-Bukit Batu Bulan ini. Walaupun dahulu misi ke Gunung Hitam dari Sg Lawing pernah gagal, tetapi kejayaan ini menunjukkan impossible is nothing.

Projek perintis TransLangat ini akan memberi peluang kepada team lain untuk meneroka laluan yang telah dibuka ini. Harap selepas ini, mana-mana team harus menjaga kebersihan alam semulajadi dan keindahan yang masih belum dicemari lagi. Jika dilihat pada gambar xpdc ini banyak tempat menarik boleh kita terokai seperti dikawasan berbatu besar yang membenttuk gua.

Tahniah sekali lagi kepada semua yang terlibat berhempas-pulas mengharungi onak dan duri, lurah dan gaung hingga sampai ke puncak  kejayaan. Kepada team KE7B Everest Felda ini merupakan langkah pertama untuk mencapai kejayaan yang  lebih gemilang. Belajarlah kepada mereka yang berpengalaman semasa xpdc ini kerana ia merupakan bekalan yang penting untuk menawan puncak dunia nanti. Bukan calang-calang orang yang mengiringi anda xpdc kali ini kerana mereka semua mempunyai pengalaman yang sangat tinggi dalam dunia outdoor ini. Kalau nak tanya sayapun boleh juga hehe.

Eyeball bersama 9W2HUF dan 9W2GEO

Rentetan perbualan di Facebook membawa aku kepada perkenalan kepada rakan yang dikenali serta rakan baru dikenali. Rupanya dilokalan aku terdapat juga rakan ham baru mendapat AA.

Setelah perbincangan dibuat membawa idea untuk eyeball, memandangkan kami tinggal dilokalan yang sama.

9W2HUF radio operator Husni dan 9W2GEO radio operator Amzari adalah rakan yang aku dapat eyeball pertama  kalinya di lokalan Putra Mahkota.

QTH eyeball adalah Restoran Nazeem Taman Impian Putra, Bangi. Perjumpaan bermula jam 9.00 malam hingga 11.00 malam. Pelbagai perkara dikongsi dan dibincangkan tentang radio serta kerjaya masing-masing.

Hasil daripada perjumpaan pertama ini berkemungkinan membawa kepada perjumpaan seterusnya agar lebih ramai rakan yang tinggal dalam lokalan ini boleh bersalaman didaratan. Sebenarnya ramai rakan ham berkampung dilokalan ini tetapi tiada kesempatan dan kelapangan untuk bersalaman.

Terima kasih kepada kedua rakan akhirnya dapat juga bersalaman didaratan. Ada kelapangan dapat berjumpa lagi.

FT-8900R Quad Band 10/6/2m/70cm Mobile

29/50/144/430 MHz FM Transceiver. The FT-8900R is a ruggedly-built, high quality Quad Band FM transceiver providing 50 Watts of power output on the 29/50/144 MHz Amateur bands, and 35 Watts on the 430 MHz band. It includes leading-edge features like cross-band repeat, dual receive, VHF-UHF Full Duplex capability, and over 800 memory channels. And its 10-meter FM coverage brings the possibility of world-wide FM DX-ing to you on your drive in to work!

Convenient Remote-Head Mounting Capability Having trouble mounting your mobile radio in your compact car? With the FT-8900R and its optional YSK-8900 Separation Kit, mounting is a breeze even in the tightest locations. The YSK-8900 includes a 20’ (6 m) remote cable and a mounting bracket for the front panel, and the microphone jack is located on the side of the front panel, eliminating the need to run a separate cable.

Convenient Access to WIRES and other Internet-linking Systems When six and ten meters are dead, you can still talk around the world with the FT-8900R! The front panel provides easy access to any WIRES™ (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) repeater, automatically sending the required single DTMF access code at the beginning of each transmission. And if you’re using another Internet linking system, one that requires a DTMF string to being up the link, you can easily configure the FT-8900R to store and send the required tone sequence, as well!

Quad Band Operation The FT-8900R combines the “traditional” 144/430 MHz local-communications concept with the exciting capability for Sporadic-E or F2 DX on the 29 MHz and 50 MHz bands, for nationwide or worldwide FM communications from your car! The first Amateur Radio FM mobile transceiver providing this capability, the FT-8900R will make you wonder how you got by with a two-band transceiver up to now!

Wide Frequency Coverage The FT-8900R provides extended receiver coverage beyond the Amateur bands, so you can keep informed of communication activities in the public safety, commercial, aircraft, and government communications ranges. Included is coverage of 28-29.7 MHz, 50-54 MHz, 108-180 MHz, 300-480 MHz, and 700-985 MHz (cellular frequencies are blocked and non-restorable).

High Power Output To get your message through when it counts, the FT-8900R puts out a full 50 Watts of power on the 29/50/144 MHz bands, and 35 Watts on 430 MHz. To ensure thermal stability during long transmissions, a thermal sensor monitors heat sink temperature, engaging the rear panel’s cooling fan only when needed.

Over 800 Memory Channels The FT-8900R provides a wide variety of memory resources, including 799 “regular” memories, six “Home” channels for favorite frequencies, five sets of band-edge memories, and six “Hyper Memory” memories, which store complete transceiver operating status, for maximum operating efficiency and convenience. Six-character Alpha-Numeric “Tags” (labels) may be appended to memory channels, affording instant channel identification. No transceiver can compare with the memory capability of the FT-8900R!

Cross-Band Repeat Capability For emergency work, or to extend the range of a hand-held unit, the FT-8900R includes Cross-Band Repeat capability, similar to that pioneered on our popular FT-8100R Dual Band FM Mobile!

One-Touch Band-Pattern To save valuable time while operating a transceiver with the versatility of the FT-8900R, the “Hyper Memory” feature allows you to store a complete set of configuration data for the two bands on which you’re operating. Besides the usual storage of frequency and tone data, Hyper Memory will store such setup parameters as Automatic Repeater Shift status, Packet parameters, Scanning mode, and VFO tracking, avoiding the need to change each of these functions manually on a regular basis.

CTCSS and DCS Encoders Built In Providing excellent performance even under difficult link conditions, Yaesu’s 50-tone sub-audible CTCSS and 104-tone DCS signaling systems ensure that you have full access to repeater and remote-base inputs, and the built-in CTCSS/DCS decoders allow silent listening on busy channels. Plus you get Tone Search Scanning, which will scan for the tone being received on an incoming signal, allowing you to match tones quickly when operating on a new repeater system

Easy Setup for FM Satellite Operation For operating on FM satellites like UO-14, the versatile memory system of the FT-8900R allows you to store a set of uplink and downlink frequencies that account for Doppler shift over the entire horizon-to-horizon pass, allowing you to select the optimum uplink/downlink combination effortlessly!

Truly Independent Two-Channel Operation Basically operating as two radios in one, the FT-8900R may be configured in a number of ways. For example, you can set up the "left" side of the rig for operation on 29, 50, 144, or 430 MHz operation, while setting the "right" side either to 144 MHz or 430 MHz. And, if you like, you can configure the FT-8900R for 144-144 MHz or 430-430 MHz Dual Receive operation, so you'll never miss out on the action!

The left and right sides have their own Volume and Squelch controls, as well as S-Meters, so your operating preferences are never compromised.
