Is anyone here kind enough to introduce some 9M-er guy as I just get my RAE passed this June.

Not intend to join any group like MARTS, MARES.

Just want to optimized my 1/2 day leave so that I could finish everything before lunch, already done and pass those forms to SKMM Cyberjaya but being told that I need to wait for 3 working days, finger crossed that the preferred call-sign still can be obtained.

Wiraone,

9Ms are currently playing with 1.2Ghz APRS? If a new 9Ws want to explore about the HF (28Mhz - 29.7Mhz), is the Yaesu FT-857D a good one? any commercial HF antenna that I could buy? prefer to use hf magnetic loop antenna

Nope, APRS is on VHF & UHF for now. I believe only Sion has tried using 1.2GHz for EME communication using moon bounce. On the radio, yes, FT-857D is the most affordable all-in-one radio and suitable for starter. There are lot of commercial antenna out there but if footprint is not a problem with you, I would suggest to go for a YAGI, a single bander 10m YAGI can be DIY-ed or even the 10m delta loop will be okay. HF magnetic loop, only source will be direct importing from US and they're not cheap. BTW, if you're using a multi-band dipole or long wire, do remember to get yourself a tuner.

This weekend, there will be an ILLW event, the nearest to KL will be at Bukit Melawati, Kuala Selangor run by MARES team.

Hi Wiraone,

I "s**ks" at DIY, and I've been youtubing all the antennas, for 10m, "the state" people are using monopole antenna but I plan to put it on my rooftop, afraid kena lightning. I am also not very familiar with the 1/4 length wave, 1/2 length wave thingy etc, that's why I am asking for opinion.

Maybe I will try to attend the event first before I go venture into the 10m.

What would be the exact time/date and venue for the ILLW event?

Btw, a stupid question, Is Malaysia affected by ionosphere radio propagation ? how far 10m can reach? Indonesia? Thailand?

Oh, there will be few field day stations active during the Merdeka day too. I'll put a notice if I see one.

Wow, that is nice. Do you use the DVB dongle + upconverter? I'm eyeing for the HackRF + upconverter, no idea when will the HackRF will be available publicly. You can find the SMA-BNC converter at Jalan Pasar.

Yes I am currently playing with it. For HackRF, u can start pre-order via nooelec.com, but i do not know how's the driver will work with HDSDR/SDRSHARP/GNU Radio . I previously ordered the DVB dongle there, but only get this up-converter recently.
Yes, I just went back from jalan pasar to customize some of the cable, even though more expensive.

Now I do not have a good 10m bnc antenna ....

Just diy a dipole or even take a long wire, string it outside your house.

wiraone As I am not that good on DIY, that's why i am trying to buy a prebuild one tongue.gif
Any 10 meter antenna that can connect to BNC connector , which do not need ATU?

I found one Maltronix HFV6010A, but it needs ATU/antenna tuner
