Sejarah: Repeater 9MN359 - Gunung Raya (9M4RGR)


Repeater ASTRA 9MN359 di Gunung Raya, Langkawi, ialah repeater yang pada asalnya untuk Gunung Keriang, Alor Setar, Kedah.
Cadangan awal untuk pemasangan Repeater Gunung Keriang dibuat oleh 9M2HN dalam Mesyuarat JPA pada 5 April 2003. Untuk memulakan projek berkenaan, 9M2HN merupakan penyumbang pertama untuk menjayakan Projek Repeater di Gunung Keriang.
Usaha untuk mendapatkan sumbangan selanjutnya diserahkan kepada ahli- ahli ASTRA dalam Daerah Kota Setar.
Dalam Mesyuarat JPA pada 21 Jun 2003, 9M2RR memaklumkan bahawa Repeater Gunung Keriang telah mendapat Callsign 9MN359.
Walaubagaimana pun, dalam Mesyuarat JPA pada 27 March 2004, keputusan telah dibuat agar Projek Repeater Gunung Keriang dibatalkan. Ini adalah disebabkan kurang mendapat sumbangan, kerjasama dan sokongan dari ahli-ahli ASTRA Daerah Kota Setar.
Setiausaha Kehormat (ketika itu) mengemukakan cadangan agar Repeater 9MN359 dipindahkan ke Gunung Raya, Langkawi, berasaskan beberapa alasan seperti belum ada repeater radio amatur di pulau berkenaan, untuk kegunaan orang tempatan dan pelancung dari dalam dan luar negara, serta operator/ MM yang berlabuh di Langkawi. Selain dari itu, tujuan utama pemindahan repeater berkenaan ialah untuk kegunaan pelawat-pelawat dari dalam dan luar negara yang menyertai dan melawat LIMA 2005. Repeater 9MN359 hendaklah dibuat seperti Repeater ASTRA di Bukit Dedap iaitu "local & linking".
Pada 17 April 2004, kerja-kerja pemasangan Repeater ASTRA 9MN359 di Gunung Raya, Pulau Langkawi, mula dijalankan. Ianya diketuai oleh 9M2RR (Pengerusi Biro Komunikasi, Teknikal & Repeater ketika itu),
dan dibantu oleh 9W2KZ, 9W2AU, 9W2QS (Pengurus ASTRA Langkawi ketika itu), 9W2FL, 9W2RZ dan 9W2CB.

Amateur Radio Repeater


Amateur Radio Repeater
An amateur radio repeater is an electronic device that receives a weak or low-level amateur radio signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, so that the signal can cover longer distances without degradation.
In amateur radio , repeaters are typically maintained by individual hobbyists or local groups of amateur radio operators. Many repeaters are provided openly to other amateur radio operators and typically not used as a remote base station by a single user or group. In some areas multiple repeaters are linked together to form a wide-coverage network, such as the linked system provided by the Independent Repeater Association which covers most of western Michigan, or the Western Intertie Network System ("WINsystem") that covers most of California at .
Services provided by a repeater may include an autopatch connection to a POTS PSTN telephone line to allow users to make telephone calls from their keypad-equipped radios. These advanced services may be limited to members of the group or club that maintains the repeater. Many amateur radio repeaters typically have a squelch tone (CTCSS or PL tone ) implemented to prevent them from being keyed-up (operated) accidentally by interference from other radio signals.
In many communities, the repeater has become the on-the-air gathering spot for the local amateur radio community. Local public service nets may be heard on these systems and many are employed by weather spotters . In an emergency or a disaster a repeater can sometimes help to provide needed communications between areas that could not otherwise communicate. Until cellular telephones became popular, it was common for community repeaters to have "drive time" monitoring stations so that mobile amateurs could call in traffic accidents via the repeater to the monitoring station who could relay it to the local police agencies via telephone.
Repeaters may also be linked together or connected to over the Internet using voice over IP (VoIP ). Echolink > allows hams with computers to connect to repeaters anywhere around the world and the Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP ) and App rpt/Asterisk allow for direct repeater linking. In addition, communications satellites called OSCARs have been launched with the specific purpose of operating as spaceborne amateur repeaters.
In the UK, repeaters are managed by the Emerging Technology Co-ordination Committee of the Radio Society of Great Britain and licenced by Ofcom the industry regulator for communications
.
Equipment
The most basic repeater consists of an FM receiver on one frequency and an FM transmitter on another frequency usually in the same radio band, connected together so that when the receiver picks up a signal, the transmitter is keyed and rebroadcasts whatever is heard.
Ham repeaters are found mainly in the VHF two meter (144 - 148 MHz) and the UHF 70 centimeter (420 - 450 MHz) bands, but can be used on most any frequency pair above 29 MHz . Note that different countries have different rules; for example, in the United States, the two meter band is 144-148MHz, while in the United Kingdom and most of Europe) it's 144-146MHz.
Repeater frequency sets are known as "repeater pairs," and in the ham radio community most follow ad hoc standards for the difference between the two frequencies. In the two-meter band, the standard is a 600 kHz shift, but some non-conforming oddball-split repeaters can be found in various places. The actual frequency pair used is assigned by a local frequency coordinating council.
In the days of crystal-controlled radios, these pairs were identified by the last portion of the transmit (Input) frequency followed by the last portion of the receive (Output) frequency that the ham would put into the radio. Thus "three-four nine-four" (34/94) meant that hams would transmit on 146.34MHz and listen on 146.94MHz (while the repeater would do the opposite, listening on 146.34 and transmitting on 146.94). In areas with many repeaters, "reverse splits" were common (i.e., 94/34), to prevent interference between systems.
Since the late 1970s, the use of synthesized, microprocessor-controlled radios, and widespread adoption of standard frequency splits have changed the way repeater pairs are described. In 1980, a ham might have been told that a repeater was on "22/82" -- today they will most often be told "682 down." The 6 refers to the last digit of 146MHz, so that the display will read "146.82" (the output frequency), and the radio is set to transmit "down" 600kHz on 146.22MHz.
Repeaters typically have a timer to cut off retransmission of a signal with goes too long. Repeaters operated by groups with an emphasis on emergency communications often limit each transmission to 30 seconds, while others may allow three minutes or even longer. The time restarts after a short pause following each transmission, and many feature a beep or chirp tone to signal that this has taken place.
A type of system known as a simplex repeater uses a single transceiver and a short-duration recorder, which records whatever the receiver picks up for a set length of time, then plays back the recording over the transmitter on the same frequency. A common name for them is a "parrot" repeater.
Standard repeaters require either the use of two antennas (one each for transmitter and receiver) or a diplexer (also duplexer) to isolate the transmit and receive signals over a single antenna. The Duplexer is a device which prevents the repeater's high power transmitter (on the output frequency) from drowning out the users' signal on the repeater receiver (on the input frequency).
Most repeaters are remotely controlled through the use of audio tones on a control channel

Ohm's Law Basic

Ohm's law states that, in an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor from one terminal point on the conductor to another terminal point on the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference(i.e. voltage drop or voltage) across the two terminal points and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor between the two terminal points. In mathematical terms, this is written as:


where I is the current, V is the potential difference, and R is a constant called the resistance. The potential difference is also known as the voltage drop , and is sometimes denoted by E or U instead of V. [1]
The SI unit of current is the ampere
; that of potential difference is the volt ; and that of resistance is the ohm, equal to one volt per ampere






A voltage source, V, drives an electric current, I , through resistor, R, the three quantities obeying Ohm's law: V = IR.




Sample RAE question:-

Picture 1


i- Follow the picture 1. Given I = 1 amp and V = 10 volt. Calculate the resistor ?

Answer:-

V = IR or V = I x R

so calculate the resistor using this formula

R = V / I
R = 10 volt / 1 amp
R = 10 ohm.


ii- If the resistor R = 20 ohm. Calculate the voltage ?. Given I = 4 amp.

Answer:-

V = I R
V = 20 ohm (4 amp)
V = 80 volt.

28.0 to 29.7mhz 10 MeTer BanD AmATeuR

Malay version

Tahukah anda!!! Frequency 28.0mhz to 27.9mhz atau dikenali 10 meter amateur band sangat popular di luar negara. Mungkin di Malaysia ini kurang sambutan. Mungkin juga tiada alat yang sesuai untuk digunakan. Tetapi di luar negara sudah lama di perkenalkan sejak tahun 1962. Kalau ada perasan dalam licence amateur class B yang di kelurkan oleh MCMC. Membenarkan kita menggunakan frequency ini 28.0 to 27.9mhz (amateur, amateur setellic).

Salah satu club 10 meter amateur bank popular ialah Ten Ten International Net bertempat
di Southern California kalau tak salah saya. Mempunya
ahli seramai 70 ribu orang pada tahun 1975 dan sekarang melebihi 73 ribu orang. Ten Ten international Net ini juga mempunyai commitees’ yang kuat dan bertanggungajawab membangunkan Ten Ten club ini. Seperti biasa sesiapa yang berminat menjadi ahli mestilah register dan perlu membayar yuran keahlian. Apabila anda sudah register anda akan diberi nombor special “10-10 Number” di samping callsign. Oleh sebab itu tiada menjadi masalah apabila kita berQSO dalam fequency kita menyebut callsign kita dengan no ahli ASTRA contoh: - 9W2RIE ASTRA 0414. Sedangkan Ten Ten club ini di iktiraf oleh ITU boleh menggunakan nombor special apa salahnya kita mempergunakan nombor astra. Penggunaan nombor astra untuk pengetahuan anda masih lagi dalam kajian oleh ahli jawatan kuasa tertinggi astra namun boleh di peraktikkan.

Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai Ten Ten club ini anda bolehlah melawat di website rasmi Ten Ten International net
http://www.ten-ten.org. Logo Ten - Ten International ada di paparkan seperti diatas.

English version
Are you aware that the frequency with the bandwidth from 28 MHz to 29.7 MHz better known as the 10 meter Amateur Band is a very popular organization overseas. Its was well known overseas since it was established in 1962. And if you are aware, as stated in license Amateur Class B which was introduced by MCMC which allows the user to use frequency ranging from 28 MHz to 29.7 MHz (amateur, amateur sattelite). If I’m mistaken there was a popular 10 Meter Amateur Club named Ten Ten International Net located in Southern California. It had a total membership count of 70,000 in the year 1975 and currently it had increased to more then 73,000 members. The members of Ten Ten International Net committee has a strong bond with each other and a strong commitment in developing the club as of today

As a usual procedure for those who were interested in joining the club were required to register and a small fee was charged for membership purpose. Upon being a new member, a special ID example “10-10 number” with a callsign is assigned to the particular individual. Therefore there would be no problem when members QSO each other in the same frequency bandwidth. Example a registered member would just mention his/her callsign with a valid ASTRA ID (identity), example: 9W2RIE ASTRA 0414. Since the Ten Ten Club is recognized and certified by ITU therefore users are encouraged to full usage of the ASTRA code. The usage of this ASTRA number is still being researched for purpose of development by the high commission.
