Jalan-jalan cari makan.....


Minggu lepas outstation lagi. Kali ini aku ker desaru pulai beach resort "family day". Seramai 30 biji keta berkonvoi ke sana. Concentrate pada pemanduan, tak masuk repeater mana2. Just listen saja.

Sementara sampai ke hotel tu. Sempat masuk ke repeater astra local pulai kalau tak salah. Ada rakan menyahut iaitu 9W2KHE- EPI. Alhamdulilah bertambah lagi rakan2 amator saya ni. Terima kasih pada anda yang menemani saya sehingga ke hotel. Alhamdulilah epi ni berminat dengan "CW". Insyallah saya akan tolong anda setakat yang boleh.

Macam-macam aktiviti disana yang di kelola oleh UMcced (Universiti Malaya centre of continuing education).

Gambar belom di upload lagi. Tahan battery camera aku. 3 hari takde masalah sony dslr 230. Antara aktivit dia adalah melawat zoo singapore, Singapore Durian Convention Center, Singapore Skyline, Sultan Mosque, Near Sultan Mosque, Raffles Hotel ( hotel paling mahal) dan macam2 lagi tak tersebut disini.

Perjalanan balik hari ahad singgah di Ayer Hitam nak beli kerepek. So jalan pun tak berapa tau sangat. So calling rakan2 amator di v51. Alhamdulilah rakan swl Sham menyahut daripada kluang. Terima kasih banyak2 bang sham dan guide saya ketempat menjual kerepek dan macam lagi. Saya sempat berntanyakan rakan saya 9W2JEK- JEK. Mengikut info yang saya terima xyl beliau sudah menunggu masa untuk bersalin. Tahniah pada anda jek "welcome to the club".

Aku meneruskan perjalanan aku sehingga ke "Air Keroh". Berenti sekejap, buang apa yg patut. Aku monitor di local repeater melaka. Sempat jugak aku qso dengan 9w2usm- Bang Mus, 9w2mfi- Bang fahmi ( adik kpd Joe), seorang rakan lagi Allah terlupa callsign dia "sham" namanya dan tiba2 ada lagi rakan yang menyambut 9w2mtt- bang basir. So sembang punya sembang, bang mus ada bagi info highway daripada senawang menuju ke K.L jem teruk. So nak kena cari jalan lain ni. Bang fahmi adik kepada Joe putrajaya advise saya masuk ke jalan lama iaitu simpang empat. So terima kasih rakan-rakan melaka dengan qso yang macam kenal rapat. Pada saya radio amator ni memainkan peranan yang boleh mengeratkan tali persahabatan. Itu yang saya lihat, pandangan orang lain saya tak tahu.

So bermula aku ikut ke jalan lama menerusi susur keluar ke simpang empat. Perjalan aku terus sampai ke Rembau. Singgah sekejap dekat pekan rembau isi minyak. Sebelum sampai ke sunggai gadut radio aku stop dekat v22. Ada rakan qso ni, sama macam aku untuk mengelak jem. Aku pun blur sekejap banyak rupanya malam tadi jem. So aku contact masuk, qso dengan 9w2bdl- Bang badrul, 9w2nie- a.k.a kamal dan 9w2bkn-bang azman. Rakan seorang lagi saya tak berapa dengar. Depa ni advise saya pulak daripada seremban menuju ke "highway lekas" sebabnya jalan masih jen di highway seremban. Daripada "sungai gadut" aku di bantu oleh 9w2bdl- bang bad dan daripada area senawang ke highway lekas aku di bantu oleh 9w2nie-bang a.k.a kamal. Terima kasih anda berdua. 9w2bkn-bang azman dah selamat sampai ke higway "lekas". So banyak2 terima kasih kepada mereka berdua ni. Depa guide aku sampai ke "highway lekas". Untuk pengetahuan anda semua highway ni masih lagi freeeeeeeeee tak payah bayaq. Yang menariknya depa berdua ni turut berminat dalam cw. bang kamal masih baru dan baru lulus RAE. Tapi alhamdulilah depa ni berminat untuk belajar cw. Insyallah saya jugak akan turut bantu mereka setakat mana yang boleh.

Dalam perjalan di highway lekas dan memang "lekaih" orang kedah cakap lekaih tu cepat. Aku di sapa oleh 9w2rev- Bang mazlan. Dia di beranang umah mak mertua rasanya. Kata dia baru lepas incident di samping baru tukar kerja ke tempat baru. Banyak benda yang di ceritakan oleh bang mazlan. Kepada bang mazlan bersabar banyak-banyak itu semua dugaan daripada Allah swt. Kita hanya mampu menerima dengan redha apa saja yang menimpa kita. Itu sebab dia busy dan lebih sebulan tak belajar cw. So bang mazlan ini sebenarnya hobi saya settle kan benda atau pekara2 yang penting dahulu. Bila dak ok boleh sambung balik belajaq cw. Saya macam biasa, bagi semanagat pada mereka yang nak belajar cw ini. Sebenarnya saya boleh bantu sedikit saja yang selebihnya diri sendiri nak kena buat. So bang mazlan semoga anda tabah dan succes dalam kehidupan seharian.

Mana2 rakan yang berminat cw itu saya doakan semoga anda berjaya. Ilmu tak perlu disimpan di dalam peti besi, dan tak kemana pun kalau tak di amal dan di ajar.

So aku sampai umah lebih kurang pukul 10.30 malam. Badan letih. So masa untuk rehatkan badan dan minda. Selepas ni banyak jugak aku nak kena buat di samping kelas di hujung minggu.

RAKAN AMATEUR DI SARAWAK


Pada minggu lepas 22-5-2010 sampai 23-5-2010 aku berkunjung ke Sarawak. Sambil aku merehatkan minda, kepala yang serabut. Alhamdulilah aku sempat QSO di repeater ARCB ( Amateur Radio Club Sarawak). Rakan amateur tersebut ialah 9W8YSS- Cikgu Yusmin, 9W8CID- Cikgu David dan 9W8EA- Pak Eli.
Ketiga-tiga rakan tidak pernah eyeball malah masa aku QSO tu pun tak sempat nak eyeball sebabnya frequency repeater tu aku dapat pada hari terakhir aku di sana. Yang uniknya radio amateur ini adalah dari segi ke akraban ketika berkomunikasi. Qso seperti kita mengenali rakan tersebut seperti sudah lama kenal. Itulah pada aku uniknya radio amateur ni.
Jadi sempat jugak aku QSO dengan rakan-rakan di kuching serawak ini. Insyallah di lain kelapangan dapat bertemu lagi...

What is Quebec Romeo Papa

In amateur radio, QRP operation means transmitting at reduced power levels while aiming to maximize one's effective range while doing so. The term QRP derives from the standard Q code used in radio communications, where "QRP" and "QRP?" are used to request, "Reduce power," and ask "Should I reduce power?" respectively. The opposite of QRP is QRO, or high-power operation.

There is not complete agreement on what constitutes QRP power. While most QRP enthusiasts agree that for CW, AM, FM, and data modes, the transmitter output power should be 5watts (or less), the maximum output power for SSB (single sideband) is not always agreed upon. Some believe that the power should be no more than 10 watts peak envelope power (PEP), while others strongly hold that the power limit should be 5 watts. QRPers are known to use even less than five watts, sometimes operating with as little as 100 milliwatts or even less. Extremely low power—1 watt and below—is often referred to by hobbyists as QRPp.

Communicating using QRP can be difficult since the QRPer must face the same challenges of radio propagation faced by amateurs using higher power levels, but with the inherent disadvantages associated with having a weaker signal on the receiving end, all other things being equal. QRP aficionados try to make up for this through more efficient antenna systems and enhanced operating skills.

QRP is especially popular with CW operators and those using the newer digital modes. PSK31 is a highly efficient, narrow-band mode that is very suitable to QRP operation.

b) The theory and operation of any amateur radio equipment including the antenna systems, transmission lines, transistors, amplitude and frequency modulation and single sideband techniques;
c) The regulations made under the Act which is applicable to the establishment and operation of a station performing an amateur experimental service; and
d) The ITU Radio Regulations applicable to the operation of a station performing an amateur experimental service and those provisions relating to the operation of stations generally.

The RAE comprises 100 objective questions. Candidates are given three hours to answer all questions. No marks are deducted for a wrong answer.


Morse Codes Test

The Morse Code (CW) test is a practical test that measure skill of the following proficiencies;

a) An ability to send message correctly on a radiotelegraph key, semi-automatic key or an electronic hand key for three consecutive minutes at a speed of not less than 12 words per minute in plain language, including figures, punctuation marks, —Q“ signals and emergency signals in the international Morse Codes; and
b) An ability to receive message correctly by ear and write legibly or type for not less than three consecutive minutes at a speed of not less than 12 words a minute in plain language including figures, punctuation marks, —Q“ signals and emergency signals in the international Morse Codes.

In CW sending tests, applicant must be able to send 36 words (averaging five letters per word) in plain language within three minutes or equivalent to a speed of 12 words per minute without uncorrected error. A maximum of four errors as well as four corrections are allowed. In sending figures, 10 five-figure groups are to be sent in 1.5 minutes without uncorrected error. A maximum of two corrections are allowed.
In CW receiving tests, applicant is required to receive 36 words (averaging five letters per word) in plain language in three minutes, and 10 five-figure groups in 1.5 minutes. Each letter or figure incorrectly received counts as one error. A word in which more than one letter is incorrectly received counts as two errors. A maximum of four errors in plain language and a maximum of two errors in the figure test are allowed.


How to Apply for the Examination
The examination will be held from time to time. The actual date and venue for the examination will be specified by the MCMC. The notice or announcement will be made through a public notice in the local press and electronics media available. The notice will detail the terms and conditions, application procedures, payment mode and other related matters pertaining to the examination.

Examination fee
The fee for the examinations are as followed.

Radio Amateur Examination (RAE)
RM 50.00
Morse Code Test
RM 50.00

The examination fee is not refundable to any candidates who withdraw from or fail to attend the examination. The fee cannot be transferred from one examination to another at a later date or from one candidate to another.
Minimum Age Requirement for the Examination
The minimum age limit for candidate to sit is 14 years for the RAE and 18 years for CW. This is due to take into consideration of the responsibility required to operate a higher power transmission and privileges accorded to a Class A amateur station operator.
