This is the most popular morse code trainer for Msian to sit for the 9M. Start with 2 alphabets then progress. Once you have relatively mastered the 26 alphabets and numerics, you are almost done. In real world CW there are again a complicated abbreviations to shorten the words. To be the jedi master of all time, you then can click on the options to include QRM into the trainer.

Good be a good boy he he he.....but what i c here most of you guys interested only on VHF and UHF why dont you guys

Monitor HF need different antenna right?? Somemore need to put up high enough.. aduh how to homebrew one?

A simple dipole one end tied to window grill the other end tied to a papaya tree = RM14.

Almost every weekend there would be a contest worth checking out while 40M have too much indonesian lanun.

CB Radio on 27.005 onwards on AM be fine to listen to too. Lots of real lanun from neighbouring countries illegal poaching fish in south china sea. Hear them on the lookout for navy chase boats.

Aaaa hah....40m what freq?

7.000 to 7.100 Mhz

But i dont think lanun works on 7.055 ?

They do, try turning your antenna towards Sumatra area. Those lanun have minimum 400watts linear. Cant blame them much too, its their only means of communications I believe.

My friend 7.055 on LSB in the evening is Nusantara Net no lanun up there....most of the lanun...are below 7.035 most of them works on USB....

Added on September 11, 2008, 6:59 pmMy friend 100% Agree with you....Most of the Ham today are on 2 meter only a few of 9Ws are on 10M ......Bet me...HF is more
challenging and more fun 2 meter is nothing some of them talking rubbish .......I am getting sick looking at what is hapening now....and some of them try to be smart and said "Pre Amateur Radio" i dont know which clown teach them all this............sad to hear all this rubbish...15 years ago we have qualities hams....but now we have quantity....but lack of qualities...So if want to learn more about radio hams dont learn from half pass six hams or from a mamak shop....but try to get good sifus and do some readings and get one HF Receiver and do a lot of monitoring than u will learn.
Why GOD give us two ears one mouth....That shows that we have to do a lot of monitoring............
Good Luck....

Thats my dream HF rig too. But crazyghost.. Lets get our license during Nov first.. Anyway how much does that rig cost? Nowadays.. 2m really is abit messy.. Some of them just get the license just to be on air and dont really have the enthusiasm to play with the radio.. Seriously dont you people notice that??

try reading 9m2ar blog
he has some interesting to say bout that

My friend....this are the diference between a true Radio Ham.....and those who are real Hams ......We start from SWL (Short Wave Listening) what i mean a real SWL most of the real hams... they have HF Communication Receiver. They are the real or true SWLs.....now a days...most of them are FML (Frequency Modulation Listener) they dont even owns Short Wave Receiver....and I heard there is a new term they called it SWAL. I wonder who suggest this term ? I never heard this term in my life ........ well this is what we called Malaysia Boleh......
As you guys can c even SWL carry many handys now a days......99% have VHF handys....sometimes you can see them at the mamak stall
if you see 5 of them i am sure on top of the table you can see more handys than roti canai.....hi hi hi.....looks like TONTO but bare in mind most of them are new commers SWLs or legal SWL who can talk on some comercial freq...and they called themself "Pre Amateur Radio" and guys this is another DISASTER which the new comers creat.....Guys there is no "Pre Amateur Radio" through out the world...well again this is what we called Malaysia Boleh. The funny thing they creat their own special callsign such as SC3xx For infomation "SCxxx" is an International Callsign Series for Sweden and PR is prefix for Brazil.....as some of you knows 9M AND 9Ws is for Malaysia....HS is for Thailand DU for Philiphines and so on....
I dont know what is going on now......looks like ham radio in Malaysia is going down the drain. We have smart people around who mess the whole things......Disaster....disaster...disaster......

So wakeup ....try to get some good gurus.....learn from them...and please do some reading...... may god bless all of us.

Its just a hobby and everyone have their own reasons to be on air. No wrong or right in hobby, too much regulation just takes the fun out of it.
My personal reason is pure technical and see how far I can make contacts with homebrewing . Gadgets are fun and I believe lowyat net is founded on this basis. Commercial bands have its own merits and its contained within Malaysia and may just reach certain places outside our borders. No biggies if you ask me. Rather than having pirates jamming up frequencies.

Yap i agree with you everyone have their own reason. Congratulation to u because u like to homebrew.
But than this is not a remote control hobby or fishing.....WE are talking about Ham Radio
we communicate with over sea...so we hv to follow some rules and guide lines.....Yes comercial are comercial but dont mix
comercial with hams...the problem now they mix it....and they call themself Hams....This becoming rojak....Lately I received
a phone call from an old times saying that he heard some pirate using 2 meter ham band at night....So this is where things are
not in oder......ones their repeater are crouded they will come to our freq ....some might say tidak apa......
are we going to allow this......? In future.....they will say why must we take RAE....ini Hoby Ma....why dont we pay certain fees
and wecan go anywhre we like....
There are a few things we need to consider...we have Rules and Regulation....and in amateur radio there is also what we
called UNWRITTEN LAW...example If you go on 40 meter and below we will work on LSB. There is no rules saying u cannot work
on USB. And if you go on 20 meter and above we go on USB.....this thing is not written in CMA 1998 MCMC ...ITU or IARU.....

Good luck on your IC7000 quest
Good blingky rig

thanks santacruzer
really hope i could afford this rig in a near future

really jealous looking at the radio shack of Richard Japanese friends in 9w2cbl blog, but everything must start with a single step & a dream
