An amateur radio operator, also known as a ham or radio amateur, uses advanced radio equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.<br /><br />Amateur radio operators enjoy personal wireless communications with friends, family members, and even complete strangers. They support the community with emergency and disaster communications. Increasing a person's knowledge of electronics and radio theory and radio contesting are also popular.<br /><br />As used in this case, the legal term "Amateur" does not connote lack of skill, but simply indicates that the frequencies involved cannot be used for commercial purposes. In fact, a person usually has to pass an examination proving their skill before being licensed as an Amateur Radio Operator by their nation's government.<br /><br />Radio amateurs use various modes of transmission to communicate. Voice transmissions are most common, with some such as frequency modulation (FM) offering high quality audio, and others such as single sideband (SSB) offering more reliable communications when signals are marginal and bandwidth is restricted.<br /><br />Radiotelegraphy using Morse code remains popular, particularly on the shortwave bands and for experimental work such as Moonbounce, with its inherent signal-to-noise ratio advantages. Morse, using internationally agreed code groups, also allows communications between amateurs who speak different languages. It is also popular with homebrewers as CW-only transmitters are simpler to construct. For many years, demonstrating a proficiency in Morse code was a requirement to obtain amateur licenses for the high frequency bands, but following changes in international regulations in 2003, many countries have now dropped this requirement</div><br /><br /><img src='http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8986/currentrigsth2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br /><img src='http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9081/icomzn7.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br /><b><u>Amateur Radio Stations in Lowyat.Net</u></b><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('faa06bf611f9fa80266462838f7b5d38')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="faa06bf611f9fa80266462838f7b5d38" style="display:none">bioweapon83 1 9W2JW - KL<br />Jleecy - 9W2JLE - KL<br />Illharess - 9W2MIT/ PRMIT - KL<br />tuo850 - 9W2CNI<br />emusmax - 9W2MEX<br />jamata - 9W2GSR - KL<br />twins - 9W2LPP<br />K1ngZ - 9W2DNI / PRAF<br />mEoWsMArt^ - 9W2JGV<br />skthien - 9W2SMJ<br />visitorfromhell69 - 9W2EVL<br />joejoney - 9W2SJG<br />siefu - 9W2HRZ - Terenganu<br />radiant - 9W2YPR - Perlis<br />wnazry - 9W2WNO<br />joncy - 9W2ACY<br />CraZyGhOst - 9W2OGH<br />SeanConnery - 9W2SUN - Bangi<br />wshazi - 9w2was<br />pgn3332 - 9W2PGN<br />9w2agw - 9w2agw<br />ilharess - 9W2MiT<br />polini - 9w2pfs - Melaka<br />skyzline_91 - 9w2FiY<br />tempe - 9W2YAI<br />Saswilee - 9W2BKL<br />hamer - 9W2POW<br />9w2mrq - 9w2mrq<br />halia_merah - 9W2HEX<br />rioven - 9w2awu - Setapak<br />9W2WTC - 9W2WTC<br />marvinben - 9W8MVN<br />Hoo - 9w2001<br />K1ngZ - 9w2007<br />azli_9w2zz - 9w2zz <br />amirulizhwan - 9W2LSU<br />kaikon - 9W6VCK<br />halia_merah - 9w2hex - Kuantan</div><br />Member's List <b><span style='color:purple'>UPDATED !</span></b><br /><br /><b><span style='font-size:16pt;line-height:100%'>FAQ</span></b><br /><br />Where do i go for more info?<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('4062da7f0fa43db59b5fd2a5fd10260c')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="4062da7f0fa43db59b5fd2a5fd10260c" style="display:none"><a href='http://www.marts.org.my' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>http://www.marts.org.my</span></a><br /><a href='http://www.mares.org.my' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>http://www.mares.org.my</span></a><br /><a href='http://www.astra.org.my' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>http://www.astra.org.my</span></a></div><br />How do i apply for a Class A or Class B license?<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('1314fc5dbfc892ef580010f2a84bc019')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="1314fc5dbfc892ef580010f2a84bc019" style="display:none">Basically what you need to do is to sit for an exam, usually held bi-annually in June & December. Announcement usually out two months before the exam and announced at <a href='http://skmm.gov.my' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>http://skmm.gov.my</span></a> website. Usually, a month before the exam, many local radio clubs & radio NGOs will conduct classes. I'll surely advice you to attend these classes to get a better picture of ham radio.. tho' with just reading the materials found on the Internet could pass you.</div><br />More Infos:<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('c5451d7ae4456945f9350e7c046837f9')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="c5451d7ae4456945f9350e7c046837f9" style="display:none">UHF - better range in the cities because the signal bounces through buildings<br />VHF - better range in the forest because the signal pierce through leaves & not bounce back to the transmitter<br /><br />Class A license - 9W2XXX<br />Class B license - 9M2XXX<br /><br /><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SeanConnery @ Dec 5 2008, 07:32 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>Hi polini and elafyf,<br /><br />In my opinion there are two ways to learn this hobby, 1. the quick way 2. the kura-kura way<br /><br />Myself, I used the quick way. To do this join a pre-amateur radio clubs among the many namely:-<br /><br />1. SCS Communications and Sport <a href='http://www.scs.net.my/' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>Website</span></a><br />2. Pradas <a href='http://www.pradas.org.my/' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>Website</span></a><br /><br />Once you join these clubs, you are already authorised to transmit with your allocated callsign ie. Pradas PR-XXX or SCS SCX-XXX and you will have the clubs' Apparatus Assignment (AA). Then you can buy you own rig or handy (handheld) radio. A radio costs from RM400 - RM2000, which would be enough for a start. Sure, you can buy one without the necessary AA but should you get arrested at any roadblock etc. then say bye-bye.<br /><br />However, let me remind you legal transmit frequency are only the pre-amateur clubs' frequency and not others. The get the licence to transmit on the larger collection of frequencies you must get a Class B licence by taking the RAE exam held twice yearly by the MCMC. Courses will be held by various amateur radio groups like <a href='http://www.mares.org.my/' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>Mares</span></a> or <a href='http://www.marts.org.my/' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>Marts</span></a>, do attend if you want to pass the exam. If you pass you can choose your callsign depending on location for example Peninsular 9W2XXX.<br /><br />And a year later you are allowed the Morse Code exam which upgrades your licence to Class A with a new callsign 9M2XXX. This allows you to transmit to the whole world, with the right equipment of course.<br /><br />If you are observant you'll see that I mentioned transmit frequencies multiple times and its restrictions, but there is no restriction on the frequencies that you can receive (listen).</div><br /></div> keithmin Hobbies, Collectibles and Model Kits Tue, 23 Nov 2010 13:18:20 +0800 Renovating http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/0 The Museum Of Kopitiam Thu, 01 Jan 1970 07:30:00 +0800 Renovating http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1618522 well, something that i dont have experience with so i wanna ask here...<br /><br />im thinking of renovating my house, downstairs, currently my living room is marbled & after 15 years, i felt more & more part is getting empty, how i know it?<br />by stepping & listening to the sound of the marble, so i decide to change my whole living room to tiles, i wanted to break all the doors & windows & redesign it.<br /><br />the prob is, if i keep staying in my house (upstairs), there will be A LOT of dust everytime i go downstairs, im also afraid of thieves, they might come in coz my<br />front part is demolished, but if i shift temporary, i have to take ALL my furnitures, bed, PC, TV, fridge to another house<br /><br />i've no solution, can someone help me here? keithmin Home Renovations and Interior Design Fri, 29 Oct 2010 10:48:25 +0800 Renting a CS 1.6 Server http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1202550 Hi, <br /><br />I've decided to rent a server, because I think setting up my own server might be troublesome & also it cant keep players inside once i make the server offline.<br /><br />I would like to know which company provides the best connections from my area.
