9w2orb has the same setup like mine

My link4 also from taobao but they are all in chinese and you need some forwarder to mail for you, as taobao normally do not do international.
(international = aliexpress)

You could hit RLG repeater as I think someone will monitor that repeater for some QSO. Get on air

Is anyone still selling their Yeasu VX-6R ?

Congratulations to all that passed RAE-2015 and officially get 9w2 callsign.

Wish there are more geeks in Cyberjaya on air tho. lol
My base station is so far inactive since my friend can't reach me unless he is reaching out of the window with his handy.

Looked into HF but then, I am living in a multistory building(no place to put antenna) and the cost for a HF setup is way beyond what I could afford.

However, I am still having fun with the SDR I purchased and using the MC101 with it. I usually tune to FM radio stations when I'm bored with the SDR.

U will be getting to HF soon once VHF can't satisfy ur needs.

Either that or loose interest at all on amateur radio and let the callsign lapse and not renewed

I am actually planning to take on CW so I could register my own repeaters.
I saw that the 2nd CW test was conducted earlier this year. Perhaps I'll wait when there is a computer test.

I found that CW is harder to find information on than RAE where there are plenty of guides and people sharing their experiences. Perhaps I should keep on practicing my morse code then.

Yes, they just announced the 2nd CW test for this year which is for September. The next one will be in March next year.

There aren't many guides because not that many are actually looking for/sharing it. Just for your information, there are few differences on the two types of CW tests currently hold by MCMC.

1. Manual CW test ( twice a year, March and Sept)
- For text, you'll receive a free text, usually in two or three sentences. Lately they've used different topic for each of the sentence, so you might get three different sentences that are not related to each others.
- For number, you'll receive 10 groups of numbers, each group has 5 number.
- Before the receiving session, they'll run a series of CW text. You'll be able to ask them to reduce the spacing or the speed (from my previous experience).
- You're able to ask the testers to resend the whole text and numbers again for the second time (use it to check for missing alphabets/numbers).
- You can copy the text into a sheet of paper and copy them to the answer sheet, if you miss on receiving some of the text, you can guess.
- For transmitting test, you'll need to transmit the same text and group of numbers that you received in the receiving session. Your tester will be from our army's signal corp. Your are able to correct the wrong words that you've sent and they're very lenient.
- For this method, you're suggested to delay your transmit training until the end. Just concentrate on the receive, when you get the rythm, your can easily do the transmit.

2. Computerised CW test ( once a month or when announced)
- For text and number, you'll get them in a group of 5 each.
- You're able to set your speed that is comfortable to you (if it too slow, you won't finish your test on time).
- You need to perfect your sending, if the spacing or speed is wrong, the computer will decoded it wrongly and you're not able to correct them.

If you're going for the computerised one, I believe you could use the CW Player (http://www.f1orl.org/cwpeng.htm). You could build a key and connect it via a serial port for training.

Our sifu PIJU might be lurking around and probably could give more input.

i think thats why we need to work skmm to allow 9w into 40m and not only on 10m

We did, last year when SKMM asking for a reply to a proposal, out of 10K hams in Malaysia, only a few that actually replied to the proposal and attended the meeting. Most of the 9W are happy to be on repeaters and simplex 2M.

uh...sad case

this is our opportunity to meet wiraone, our "ayahanda". keke

guys im searching yaesu ptt mh57a4b screw type,if you guys got spare to sell pm me ya.
