Been reading through the forum and been planning my RAE. Do I need to have 2 referral to get my apparatus assignment? Might had missed out on the SKMM guideline.
Been reading the guideline and trying out the MARTS trial questions. I saw someone posted SKMM is having online exam via zoom for the RAE. Might just gonna register for that.
Planning to get the Yaesu FT 70 but my home is like 15km away from Bukit Lanjan repeater. Is it possible for my to connect to the repeater?
Sorry I'm super new on this if any questions sound stupid

QUOTE(wiraone @ Jul 22 2021, 04:41 PM) Yes, you still need to have the 2 9M or any MARTS exco members for the referral as before. MARTS along with KLDX are hosting weekly online classes, do check for an announcement in either https://www.facebook.com/groups/radioamaturmalaysiaofficial or https://www.facebook.com/groups/189197434171 for any new announcement for the next RAE online class. SKMM is now allowing candidates to sit the ORAE from home, provided that you have a good internet speed and webcam for them to invigilate you. I believe you're the one asking about FT70DR in FB RAM group  If yes, the answer still the same as what I've answered there. With just the "rubber ducky" stock antenna, you might not be able to work the repeater, but with external base antenna, probably you can. I've never been to your part of KL (Maluri), so no idea really. Appreciate the quick reply. Noted on the online class that’s super helpful. Gonna try to attend one. Regarding the external antenna is it possible for me to mount one at my balcony? As I’m living in a high rise. Something semi portable maybe and how much does it cost or terms/model I should look for? Btw my house have line of sight to genting but it’s like 30km away. Do you think is possible for me to connect to that repeater? This post has been edited by joevo2: Jul 22 2021, 04:48 PM |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Jul 22 2021, 06:09 PM) If you can see Genting from your balcony, you shouldn't have any problem working with any repeaters up there at Genting even with just your handy talkie with stock antenna and just 5W. Living in high rise added an advantage for you if you just want to work on VHF/UHF bands. External antenna, depends really, since you're living at a high rise building, you might have difficulty to source a base antenna. Another option is to have a high gain mobile antenna and put it somewhere at the balcony. Don't worry to much for now with buying all those thing, they might be unnecessary. Best to do trial and error when you've your handy talkie and license. Noted. Really appreciate the info and advice. I guess the first step is to get my licence first |
