have any 1 read the propose new spectrum plan by MCMC?

Had a peek yesterday, it has 40m band open for Class B .. but I guess many Class A holders will hold a protest infront of MCMC office after this with placards

hihihihi... maybe bro.. then we'll have the 9w's on the other side supporting it..

lolol thn wat do u think? izit a good move or a bad move?

It will be surely a good move .. proposed by progressive hams in Malaysia for the development of ham radio here. This is I heard in-lieu of not removing the CW requirement to get an upgrade but probably will be done with additional certification.. so, probably you'll get to operate this if you hold an additional certificate saying that you're competent to work on 40m band .. and this certification will be by the elmers and not certifying body (MCMC). Will see how this goes .. but I'm all for it for sure..

so it'd be like our neighbour sg where they have to write in to get a certain privillege to tx on certain bands

well c how it is implement. from now on need to visit elmer n learn more on operating on HF. then easy can get recomendation from them...

Easiest way is to join any field day organised by any groups .. some of the elmers are too busy with their personal activities but they're more than willing to share their experiences during the field day. BTW, this 40m band is still in draft and we've no idea when they're going to be implemented .. but, why not prepare for A class license when you're onto it already ..

btw i do preparing on upgrading... currently doing some listening when i have some free time n joining a cw class just to test how i'm doing on listening... if any 1 in penang wanna join the cw class just drop by at uncle david (9m2px) house every friday night at 9.00pm...

Does anybody know when is the next RAE test and its venue? Thanks.

a lot of china brands have managed to reach the US shore but to the extend they are known as 'disposable' due to their price. quality wise it's okay for normal usage but expect no fancy fancy stuff wif em like, dropping ah, water hazards have to be more careful lor but if just use for normal qso or monitoring it's ok wan juz my 2cents though

Hey guys i just passed my RAE-1-2010 and how can i apply for the class b AA? What is the fee?
Statutory Declaration?How can i get that?
Last but not least, I was informed that MCMC does not accept CASH or CREDIT CARD. They ONLY ACCEPT CHEQUE, POSTAL ORDER & MONEY ORDER.
So how i'm going to pay them?
All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
