My..Apparatus Assignment - ( 01420503-000su/122007 )

I was born on 21 December 1974.My QTH is Butterworth,Penang MALAYSIA.I'm married with two adorable sons.I have some experience in forwarding and shipping because I have worked with Malaysia International Shipping Corporation(MISC) before I started my own business.My company is Galaxie Computer Centre(GCC).I'm dealing with sales,servicing and networking.I've started this business about 10 years ago.I've known about this hobby 6 years ago from a friend but I didn't get the chance to explore it.Only last year I got into this hobby and took the RAE on 26 November 2006 .I received my APPARATUS ASSIGNMENT on 04 January 2007 (01420503-000SU/122007). I'm using V8000-Icom for mobilling and handy rig with V24 special (height :60' from the ground) at home.I hope to make more friends and get to know more about this hobby.

Ham







"Ham: a poor operator. A 'plug.'"That's the definition of the word given in G. M. Dodge's The Telegraph Instructor even before radio. The definition has never changed in wire telegraphy. The first wireless operators were landline telegraphers who left their offices to go to sea or to man the coastal stations. They brought with them their language and much of the tradition of their older profession.In those early days, spark was king and every station occupied the same wavelength-or, more accurately perhaps, every station occupied the whole spectrum with its broad spark signal. Government stations, ships, coastal stations and the increasingly numerous amateur operators all competed for time and signal supremacy in each other's receivers. Many of the amateur stations were very powerful. Two amateurs, working each other across town, could effectively jam all the other operations in the area. When this happened, frustrated commercial operators would call the ship whose weaker signals had been blotted out by amateurs and say "SRI OM THOSE #&$!@ HAMS ARE JAMMING YOU."Amateurs, possibly unfamiliar with the real meaning of the term, picked it up and applied it to themselves in true "Yankee Doodle" fashion and wore it with pride. As the years advanced, the original meaning has completely disappeared.-Louise Ramsey Moreau W3WRE/WB6BBO













The Q Code







The Q Code came into being internationally in 1912 to overcome the language problems involved in communications by radio among ships and shore stations of all countries. The original list of 50 adopted by international agreement in London contain many which are still familiar to amateur operators-QRN, QRM, QSO, the traffic operator's QRK, QSY and QRV -are now well past the half-century mark in continuous usage. QSL still has the official 1912 definition despite the changed informal usages it is subjected to in amateur parlance.The QN signals for amateur net operation were introduced in the late 1930s by W1UE (now W4IA) to lighten the burdens of net control operators.

About...


















Ham radio is steeped in tradition, legend, codes, and symbols. Some of the most frequently asked questions are, "Where did the word Ham come from?" "Where did the Q signals come from?" "Does SOS mean Save Our Ship?" "What's a Wouff Hong ?" On this page we answer these questions and more--including, "How did the ARRL get started?"There are also articles of events and people who not only influenced amateur radio but changed the world.






Amateur radio, often called Ham radio, is a hobby and public service enjoyed by about six million people[1] throughout the world. 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.Amateur radio operators have 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.

An amateur radio operator
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.
Radiotelegraphy using Morse code remains popular, particularly on the shortwave bands and for experimental work, with its inherent signal-to-noise ratio advantages. Morse, using internationally agreed code groups, also facilitates communications between amateurs who speak different languages.[2] It is also popular with home constructors as CW-only transmitters are simpler to construct. For many years a knowledge of morse code was necessary to obtain amateur licences for the high frequency bands but following changes in international regulations in 2003 many countries have now dropped this requirement (the USA did so in 2007).
Modern personal computers have led to a boom in digital modes such as radioteletype, which previously required cumbersome mechanical equipment.[3] Hams led the development of packet radio, which has since been augmented by more specialized modes such as PSK31 to facilitate real-time, low-power communications on the shortwave bands. Other modes, such as WSJT, are used for weak signal modes including meteor scatter and moonbounce communications.
Similarly, fast scan amateur television, once considered rather esoteric, has exploded in popularity thanks to cheap camcorders and video cards in home computers. Because of the wide bandwidth and stable signals required, fast scan amateur television is normally limited to 100 km (about 60 miles) range. However, with ham TV repeaters linked together the video may travel across several states.

On VHF and higher frequencies, automated relay stations, or repeaters, are used to increase range. Repeaters are usually located on the top of a mountain, hill, or tall building. A repeater allows the operator to communicate over hundreds of square miles using a low power hand-held transceiver. Repeaters can also be linked together by use of other amateur radio bands, wireline, or the Internet. Repeater stations are either owned, maintained and operated by clubs or individuals.




Specialized Interests of Ham Radio
While many hams just enjoy talking to friends, others pursue specialized interests such as:


*Emergency communications for community emergency response teams
*Designing new antennas
*Communicating via amateur satellites
*Severe weather spotting
*DX communication to far away countries
*Using the Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP) to connect radio repeaters via the Internet
*Tracking vehicles using the Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS), which integrates with the GPS
*Engaging in the sports of contesting
*Amateur Radio Direction Finding
*High Speed Telegraphy
*Low-power operation.



Some enthusiasts collect vintage amateur radios, such as those using vacuum tube technology. Some hams also assist in the restoration and operation of antique radio equipment at museums and museum ships.
Many hams enjoy meeting each other in person as well through local clubs or at Hamfests. These annual events are popular, with the largest being held in Dayton Ohio, where more than 20,000 hams gather each May.
























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































OSCAR



A Brief History of Amateur SatellitesOrbiting Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio (OSCAR) series of small satellites was initiated for radio amateurs to experience satellite tracking and participate in radio propagation experiments. The World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC) allocated frequencies for the Amateur Satellite Service, including 29 MHz (10m), 145 MHz (2m), 435 MHz (70cm), 1270 MHz (24cm) and 2400 MHz (13cm). Transmitting low-powered signals, initially battery operated and offering short lives, the satellites have become increasingly sophisticated. More recently, they have served school science groups, provided emergency communications for disaster relief, acted as technology demonstrators, and transmitted Earth imagery.Here is a brief history of the amateur satellites that have and are presently circling the globe. They are listed in chronological order by launch date.For information on the OSCAR Numbers Policy see http://www.amsat.org/amsat/amsat-na/oscar.html.See also the joint IARU and AMSAT Information for Prospective Owners and Operators of Satellites Utilizing Frequencies Allocated to the Amateur Satellite Service.
