Pride and joy working over ISS

2010-12-09T22:49:00.004+08:00

Too many things to consider,and many more to overcome...that's why my blog is not updated! Too many projects and plans in the minds,but most of it..only half way through...I've try to build a simple and inexpensive APRS 1200baud decoder,but until today..no luck yet.
Luckily I got a call from Dex 9W2DTR, and he is very kind to sell me one of his collections of MX614P..he..he.. so the project will be restart once the MX614P in my hand.

So,that's one of the causes..well now I'm quite free during night,and I check the ISS schedule and come out with very nice pass during the night.So once again, I hook the interface to radio..and wait for ISS. It's been a long time...
Here's the result on ARISS website..

Day 1

Day 2

you can sent short EMAIL from RF to ISS to any recipients..well in this case...few unlucky guys..

my position... note the path

and once it digipeated by ISS...received by Thailand ham and feed to APRS server...

What else hobby give you opportunity to do thing like this?

And another pass is coming in 9 minutes..see you all..good luck .73

Packet Mode on ISS is back

2010-07-18T21:19:00.004+08:00

Greeting fellow friends..

It been a while the packet mode on ISS is switch off.Maybe they are busy with their task..
A couple week ago, it been switch on, that is great news for many of us (ISS hunter).I've been trying to work several times since it back over the air during night time,due to better equipment and antenna. I'm also try to work from my portable (my work place), but no luck yet!

Ahh..a message from Indonesian station pop up just now...
One of the stations that I copy over the ISS

thank you sir, all the best!

this also one of the stations that I could gate in

my own station, digipeated by ISS

My current setup Icom 706 MK2Gburst 50W, running on 12V 7Ah x 2 battery,Cushcraft ARX2B.Interface, homebrew (named it RutBlaster..he.he)

Also will try the IC-910H soon..not mine!!

where are the Malaysian stations?

Power Supply Project by 9W2TTC

2010-06-28T21:35:00.006+08:00

coffee by 9W2WF..thanks it keep our eyes open

Last Sunday 27 June 2010, few of us gathered at Mares Club House to join this activity.To build a linear power supply.Class was conducted by Mr.Mansor @ 9W2TTC.In this class we will learn exactly from the 3 pin plug 240AC to the final output of 13.8V that will be feed to our equipment.

Mr.Mansor on action...

this is the best circuit..

the "ingredients" for our soup...fresh and selected items only

heat sink banks from junkyard..

Even though the class only going on for few hours, but it good for me, I can sharpen my skill again. Well it been almost 11 years since I left my technical school (Sekolah Menengah Teknik Kulim).Mr Mansor elaborate us very detail of each and usage of every component. Why it should be this value and rating. (opsss...now I know why it burnt!)

DAIWA power supply

DAIWA factory claim 30A..after calculations....auchhh..< 20A

rectifier diode....Motorola tu!

Mallory...RM180...woooowww bigger than cup

The block diagram of the power supply now is in our head. For upcoming classes, there should be more fun...seeing from all the belongings of Mr.Mansor I could not imagine the condition of his base. I only could imagine my base...(messy..very messy)

from previous project belong to 9W2UIA

need a modification...add transistors, capacitors..etc..
Well folk, if you are interested in electronics..make a pit stop at Mares Club House every forth week of Sunday monthly.

Compaq? with terminal?

what..with ampere gauge and voltmeter?

ohh...finally the content..Mr.Masor still maintain the floppy drive..wonder why?
for logging?

So. see you guys on next class...

p/s APRS on ISS is back, give them a visit at 145.825
p/s anyone would like to joint this project can email to me

What's up...

2009-12-01T18:13:00.004+08:00

Hi all, it been a while I'm not blogging.Got few others thing to do,finishing my experimental tracker as well as Negeri Sembilan Digipeater.Quite confusing,run on Tinytrak4..gone through the manual for many times, ut still not able to solve it..will 'google' around again..........
In the mean time,found few thing that interesting...ordered it on 23 November 2009, a sudden..unexpected the 'box' arrive on 30 November 2009.Surprise me...because I didn't make a payment yet! Anyway to Khun Phot, thank you very much and I'm expecting for your account details.
An original version of EZTrak..from my friend in Thailand..
Full set of EZTrak kit plus box..nice!

surprise me........

the package inside the box

hmmmmm.....

double layer PCB,PIC16F648..etc..etc

opss..the white box, neat and nice.

I took almost an hour to fully complete the soldering part.And took another 30 minute to 'drilling' the box.Look nice when completed..

As expected..it works well..thanks Khun Phot..

Back again with support..

2009-11-07T08:54:00.003+08:00

There is no turning point now, we should proceed with this thing.In the mean time, we will try to approach MCMC. To make sure, this kind of thing will not happen anymore. Will try to add the F1D and F2D on our Classes of Emission. And we also consider to put in the D-Star mode.

Well gentlemen, we should realize ( for those who didn't) technology is growing day by day.What a pity for us in Malaysia...But, after all this might be a new move to new era.

Ham radio is all about doing experimenting, why should we stop then? As long as we follow the Region 3 band plan and 'not interfere' the others.

That's all I want to say....after discussion with 9M2CJ,9W2LL,9W2TPT,9W2DIE,9W2KDN and 9W2LKC......we will 'fight' for this.

best regards from 9w2rut

APRS Off................................

2009-11-05T16:09:00.002+08:00

APRS - switching off..

I'm switching off all my APRS equipment as of today. Just have been told that 9W's AA has no F2D in the emission table, hence is not legal to transmit digital over 2m/VHF. I'm taking down all my previous postings on APRS so that they will not confuse the rest of us and I'll take them back online after the issue has been resolved.

Update: Just realised that even 9M's AA does not have this 'Digital' mode too.

Thanks to 9w2tpt,copy from your blog

9W2MUS letter...

2009-09-28T00:18:00.000+08:00

Found this from 100watts forum..

To all Malaysian ham radio amateurs and friends,

I was told there are thousands of registered ham radio amateurs in Malaysia alone. That's pretty impressive for a small country like Malaysia. That reflects the interest in ham communications in our country.

I have to admit that the first time I was exposed to ham radio was when I first joined the space programme. I’ve never even heard of it before this, and never knew why people were so interested in them until I personally had contact not only with other ham radio operators throughout the world but also with the astronauts and cosmonauts on the ISS. It gives you a feeling of "bonding", as though you are right there in space.

My call sign is 9W2MUS and Faiz's call sign is 9W2FIZ. We use these call sign when we are in touch with other hams. The ISS uses its own call sign RSOISS for the Russians and NAISS for the Americans.

We had our ham radio training in Star City to familiarize ourselves with the equipment on the ISS. The space station has 4 antennas to provide communication to the ground and we use the VHF band. Currently the Russians are doing some experiments and to bring new equipment to the station to allow ham communication using the HF band too. If that works, it would allow us for better and broader coverage.

The problem with ham radios is that cosmonauts can only communicate when they are passing through the zone territory, which usually lasts for 10 minutes. Hence when I want to talk to ham amateurs in Malaysia, I have to wait until the space station is passing through Malaysia. Though the space station orbits the earth 16 times in a day, it passes on Malaysian territory twice daily at the 4th and 13th orbit. You can speak in any languages you desire but there are certain rules you must abide by – you are not allowed to talk anything on politics, religion, sex or doing any business or advertising. Other than that, we could chat on anything we desire from the weather to letting you know the menu of the day.

You can actually get the timings of the space station passing through your country from the internet. In fact, on a clear bright sky at night, you might be able to see the space station with your very own eyes. It looks like a bright star moving in a slow motion. It's really a fascinating view to see.

We were taught by Mr. Sangat Singh from ANGKASA at the planetarium and he was kind enough to teach us all the basic requirements. He was such a great teacher and I would like to thank him for obtaining my license.

We encourage Malaysians and schoolchildren to apply for a ham radio license. All you need is to sit for an exam which is not that difficult to pass. We are hoping to communicate with all of you when in space sharing all the experiences and adventures at the same time.

There's an organization called ARIS (amateur radio station ISS) consisting of 7 countries which are responsible for school communications all over the world. It would be a great honor to communicate with school kids and inspire them at the same time.

To all ham amateurs out there, hope to hear from you.

Bye for now.
Sheikh.

GARMIN GPS 16HVS

2009-09-02T22:55:00.007+08:00

Receive this GPS just now from 9M2CJ.This GPS is from Australia and belong to our senior ham, Haji Rashid or well known as 9M2RS. I was surprise to see the real size of it,but we as 'hams' don't care so much about sizes,shapes and outlook.As long as it can work and give us satisfactory as we need, that is really good enough..

Factory fitted with RJ45 connector,to make it more compatible with our use,and with a permission of the owner (of course),i cut it.I connect it to DB9 Female connector..what i realize from this GPS is,it has 2 DATA Input and 2 DATA Output..wahh..this really good! One is primary and the other one is secondary....hmmm..Maybe can be use for Garmin Mobile PC while the other one is feeding data to our tracker....So we can't get lost anymore..ha..ha
Enjoy the pictures ..

How to do this....

2009-08-10T14:54:00.005+08:00

Hi, it seem that many hams are getting interested in this APRS.And many of them homebrewing their tracker,some of them may order it from the famous Byonics,FoxDelta and also Argentdata..

Ok..make it short..for those who is running on EZ Trak firmware which I loaded on PIC16F628A ( also can be loaded on PIC16F648A,bit expensive) here is how to edit or change the setting. BUT remember this, DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!!! Certain PC/Laptop may not work! Alternatively you also can use the "USB to Serial convertor" but,also not guarantee it will 100% work...mine is working.

Here is where you should start....

Step 1 - download the Microsoft Windows Installer...here
Step 2 - download this big (approx 197Mb) Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5...here
Step 3 - download the EZ Trak Configuration Utility...here

After finished..install the Microsoft Windows Installer (certain SP may does't require this) then install the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 then lastly install the EZ Trak Configuration Utility.

Then you are done on software side...now on the hardware site..

First to change you callsign,SSID,proportional path,to turn off or on the smart beacon,to adjust the smart beacon or to edit he beacon comment you will need this Null Modem Adaptor....
You can buy it on computer shop or you may construct it yourself.....it very simple
All image are copied from 100watts forum..thank you!

Parts.......

2 units of DB9 (Female), screws and nuts

mount it like this..

the simple null layout

done!

to make it more beautiful..add this

commercial type ..he..he also can copy..same!

full null layout..

altenatively you may use a longer wire..just in case you have limited space of your PC's back..

Then,you are ready to make a changes of your tracker..

2009-08-06T19:44:00.008+08:00

Baru sebentar tadi,beroleh satu lagi kejayaan,menggunakan handy Kenwood TH-255A,antena Slim Jim,output power 5 watt,satu beacon dari base staion telah mengenai RS0ISS-3 dan melalui Satellite Gateway milik Pak Key (9W2KEY).

Mulanya tidak sengaja,termonitor UI-View 32 dan ternampak base 9W2KEY di atas peta,jadi secara mudahnya,kalau ada Pak Key di UI-VIEW, itu tandanya ISS nak lalu..he..he
Dan ini antara contoh,jika beacon anda men'gena' ISS.. semak dilaman ini,

www.ariss.net

dan ini pula hasil Byonics Tinytrak4 milik 9W2PD yang digunkan untuk tujuan kajian dan latihan
boleh mengekod dan mendekod paket serta berkeupayaan untuk menerima mesej dan menghantar mesej dengan menggunakan LCD dan keyboard PC..

sebelum ISS sampai..sesi mesej bersama Hamid

ISS atas kepala,masa untuk TX..5watt pun 5 watt la..

ahaaa.....beacon dari ISS boleh diterima..masa untuk TX lebih kerap..he..he

dan...tu dia,macam selalunya, 9W2KEY ISS Award Achievement Holder

dan..lagi sekali

hmmm.dari Indonesia pun ada..he..callsign yang selalunya dapat!

dan yang ini juga.....

menarik..menarik...jadi anda semua bila lagi? Takkan nak ham Malaysia saja dengar callsign anda...tak perlu setup HF......VHF saja,takkan ada beban lagi..he..he takde alasan dah..

Brunei is now APRS...

2009-08-04T23:10:00.004+08:00

Thank you for the support,V88KAI is now available on APRS..well done!
Hopefully more station will grow....

Sabah is now on APRS.....

2009-07-31T23:37:00.004+08:00

wah.......rakan-rakan di Sabah betul-betul menunjukkan minat yang mendalam dalam APRS.Hasil keberkesanan racun yang digunakan oleh 9W2PD dan 9M2AUR telah menampakkan hasil yang begitu membanggakan...tahniah untuk rakan-rakan disana...seperti 9W6BOY,9M6DJC, 9W6HLM,9W6MAN,9W6DEN,9W6MRS dan 9W6IWN serta 9W6FTT.

Semoga anda semua beroleh pengalaman yang baru dan boleh digunakan apabila keadaan memerlukan. Ini adalah sebahagian daripada track yang dihasilkan oleh mereka..tahniah semua!

hidupkan APRS dikawasan anda...

how fast can you go?

2009-07-27T00:17:00.002+08:00

dapat dari forum 100watts...menggunakan pesawat terbang..tengok speed...he..he
siapa mahu cuba?

my PUXING PX777..buat hal

2009-07-11T22:41:00.005+08:00

Setelah hampir 2 tahun berkhidmat,akhirnya handy pertama aku buat hal...Mungkin masa buat programming untuk interfac APRS tempoh hari,telah menjejaskan settingnya.
Tak dapat masuk VFO,tak dapat Reset.Dah jadi macam set Mototrola.

...he..he.buat sampai tension,cabut jack,pasang jack,tanpa 'off'kan radio dan tengah running 'script' di COM port.. adei..- moral..off radio dulu lain kali-

Dengan berbekalkan komputer dan 'google' carian di internet dimulakan dan hasilnya amat menarik,radio ini boleh diprogram menggunakan komputer(tak payah susah-susah pulas tombol dan tekan keypad)...hmmm menarik tu,kenapa la dia tak jadi awal-awal dulu..kan senang..

Ok untuk memulakan projek ini,bahan-bahan yang diperlukan ialah interface,PC (ada COM Port) dan masa..hu..hu..

interface tengah beroperasi

program yang boleh didownload dan mudah digunakan

ok..berjaya mengembalikan setting asal,tiada channel yang hilang..dan siap boleh tulis nama kat dalam radio ni lagi..he..he..bagus ni

..tu je la 73

Q Construct.. for APRS

2009-07-02T23:54:00.001+08:00

The "q-construct" is implemented on APRS-IS to add the following capabilities to the Internet APRS transport mechanism.

APRS-IS Entry Identification
Support for a Future Authorization Algorithm
Support for Loop Detection
Support for Automatic Loop Protection
Compatibility with Existing IGate and Client Software
Only Server Support Needed for Implementation
The currently defined q constructs are:

Server Generated:

qAC - Packet was received from the client directly via a verified connection (FROMCALL=login). ; The callSSID following the qAC is the login of the client.
qAX - Packet was received from the client directly via a unverified connection (FROMCALL=login). ; The callSSID following the qAX is the login of the client. ; This construct is in addition to the TCPIP*/TCPXX* construct currently in place.
qAU - Packet was received from the client directly via a UDP connection. ; The callSSID following the qAU is the login of the server.
qAo - (letter O) Packet was received via a client-only port, the FROMCALL does not match the login, and the packet contains either a ,I or qAR construct where the indicated IGate matches the login.
qAO - (letter O) Packet was received via a client-only port and the FROMCALL does not match the login.
qAS - Packet was received from another server or generated by this server. ; The latter case would be for a beacon generated by the server. ; Due to the virtual nature of APRS-IS, use of beacon packets by servers is strongly discouraged. ; The callSSID following the qAS is the login or IP address of the first identifiable server (see algorithm).
qAr - Packet was received indirectly (via an intermediate server) from an IGate using the ,I construct. ; The callSSID following the qAr it the callSSID of the IGate.
qAR - Packet was received directly (via a verified connection) from an IGate using the ,I construct. ; The callSSID following the qAR it the callSSID of the IGate.
Client Generated:

qAR - Packet is placed on APRS-IS by an IGate from RF. ; The callSSID following the qAR it the callSSID of the IGate.
qAZ - Packet is generated by the server/client/IGate and should not be propagated. ; The callSSID following the qAZ is the callSSID of the server/client/IGate. ; This is normally used for connection messages such as messages to USERLIST.
qAI - Trace packet. ; This packet tells each server to add login identification to the packet. ; This packet starts with the callSSID of the originating station following the qAI. ; See algorithm for more details.
Client generated q constructs will be verified if a new authorization algorithm is created.

Servers MUST have unique logins from any other server/IGate/client that insert data onto APRS-IS. ; This is to prevent packets from being erroneously detected as looping. ; For instance, if my server's login is AE5PL and my weather client is AE5PL, my server will see ,qAC,AE5PL and consider this packet a looped packet. ; As logins can be any combination of 9 alphanumeric characters, this should not pose a problem.

IGates which append IGATECALL,I to the end of packets and which are directly connected to a server which supports the q construct will have the IGATECALL,I converted to qAR,IGATECALL, qAr,IGATECALL, or qAo,IGATECALL to support the extended capabilities of the q construct.

Servers will have the ability to selectively enable tracing on all packets through server configuration. ; This must be used judiciously and only when a loop condition is suspected due to the increased bandwidth demands that tracing creates.

q constructs will only appear on APRS-IS and are not to be used elsewhere due to bandwidth considerations.

For example, this is what happens to a packet without a q construct which enters the system via a verified connection:

Original packet:
AE5PL>APRS,TCPIP*:payload

Packet leaving the server if trace is off:
AE5PL>APRS,TCPIP*,qAC,AE5PL:payload

or, if trace is on:
AE5PL>APRS,TCPIP*,qAC,AE5PL,AE5PL-JS:payload

2009-06-25T19:20:00.004+08:00

22 Jun 2009, Repeater MARTS VHF di Bukit Lanjan telah terhenti perhikmatannya....

23 Jun 2009, bersama Repeater Manager 9M2CJ,meneroka ke atas Bukit Lanjan dan nampaknya salah satu radio (TX) telah 'mati'.Keseluruhan unit dibawa turun untuk diselenggara.

25 Jun 2009,bersama 9M2CJ lagi,radio tersebut dihantar untuk diperiksa..

minggu2 yang sibuk............

2009-05-26T14:33:00.002+08:00

Penuh agaknya aktiviti aku untuk bulan Mei ini,dengan kehadiran FoxView2,Fox Trak dan FoxDigi,bertambah lagilah experimen aku dalam APRS ini.Malah Tinytrak4 dan LCD Display sudah berjaya disambungkan,namun begitu dengan kepala yang pening dengan setting-setting dia,aku campak ke tepi dulu,dan Hamid 9W2TPT nampaknya berminat juga untuk memasang display pada Tinytrak4 miliknya yang kini menjadi Full Time Digipeater untuk kawasan Bukit Rahman Putra,Sungai Buloh malah menjangkau ke Shah Alam juga.

Jadi,aku serahkan tugas-tugas untuk mencari idea bagi menghidupkan dispaly tersebut kepadanya.Aku jadi tukang cilok idea sajalah.Dan dengan terlahirnya pula kumpulan APRS-ISS maka,malam dan tengah malam menjadi semakin sibuk.Dengan berbekalkan antena vertical,radio dan software UISS,aku sudah beberapaka kali berjaya menghantar beacon ke ISS.Dan ramai juga yang sudah mula menceburkan diri dalam arena ini.

Malam ini,ada passing yang agak cantik,jadi kena bersedia lagi malam ini.

ISS...

ha..ha..jangan marah

credits to 9W2PD..
thank you...

Sebenarnya baru balik dari Genting Highlands bersama 9M2CJ,9W2QC,9W2SMF dan beberapa orang SWL lagi.Tujuan kesana adalah untuk mencari punca kenapa banyak data packet yang dihantar tidak dapat diulang pancar. Hasil ujian selama 2-3 jam mendapati banyak gangguan ataupun QRM diatas sana.Jadi sedikit sebanyak telah terjawab permasalahan nanti. Malah dengan menggunakan simplek,audio diterima jelas dikawasan Kuala Lumpur dan juga Port Dickson tetapi,diatas sana saya tidak dapat langsung mendengar audio dari Kuala Lumpur.
Jadi kami semua bersependapat bahawasanya QRM inilah yang membuatkan data packet tadi tidak dapat memasuki Digipeater,walaupun masuk tetapi QRM telah menjejaskan data packet tadi dan hasilnya data tersebut tidak dapat diulang pancar ke Internet Gateway.

Dan beberapa langkah untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini telah difikirkan,dan ada beberapa cara untuk mengurangkan QRM itu (kalau tiada terus pun bagus) dan akan dirujuk secara terus kepada pihak pakar..
Untuk itu kami bersetuju untuk membawa pulang dulu Digipeater dari Genting Highlands.Jadi setidak-tidaknya kami telah dapat mencari punca maslah tersebut dan akan kesana semula dalam jangka masa yang terdekat untuk cuba (sehingga berjaya) menyelesaikan masalah ini

ARDF with APRS?

2009-04-07T21:36:00.006+08:00

He..he..sesuatu yang unik untuk dikaji dan telahpun berjaya dilaksanakan..

Pada 05 April 2009 yang lepas,ARDF anjuran V17 dan Pusat KO Kuala Lumpur telah berlangsung dengan jayanya.Aku sempat menyertai acara ini dengan 2 partisipati yang berbeza..he..he..
Sebagai peserta ARDF dan juga salah seorang pengelola APRS Demo..
Ah..sesuatu yang menarik mengapa perlu dilepaskan.....Dengan idea untuk meletakkan Tracker di basikal marshal ARDF merupakan langkah yang bagus..untuk memastikan marsyal-marsyal yang ditugaskan melakukan tugas dengan baik....
Beberapa keping gambar yang berjaya dicilok dari rakan seperjuangan ARDF aku..9W2KRZ

APRS Demo setup..dari kiri KF163+GPS Leadtex (sumbangan PA3/9M2FRI),air mineral( beli sendiri)bateri Lead Acid 12V 7.2A,Trickle Charger,Tracker(stiker oren)Digipiter (kotak putih)
Laptop aku,belakang laptop, Kenwood 2M Rig,T2 Digipiter,SX400,masking tape dan air kotak

aku..tengah beraksi,antena homebrew,passive dan active attenuator homebrew,VX7R (homebeli)..cesss susah jugak fox hunt ni...signal merata-rata ada..

Aku dan Khairul tengah buat posing sebelum acara Slalom bermula..

Fine tuning gadget...

itu sajalah yang sempat aku cilok,mungkin ada lagi dari rakan-rakan lain..nanti aku cilok..

ah..sebelum terlupa,aku menang tempat ke 3 acara Slalom..he..he..nanti aku post gambar trofi..

p/s mana-mana rakan yang mempunyai AA tapi belum pernah menyertai ARDF,cubalah sertainya walaupun sekali..aku garenti pasti menyeronokkan.Bukan menang atau kalah tetapi apa yang dikecapi tu sukar digambarkan..

KF-163 track on the map..

2009-03-26T21:05:00.007+08:00

inilah antara track yang cantik,menggunakan KF-163 dan GPS Leadtek

dan ini pula menggunakan tracker yang dihomebrew dan firmware daripada Thailand, EZtrak..

ingatkan dah tak jalan firmware ni..tapi berhasil jugak...
APRS semakin menarik,dengan kehadiran beberapa stesyen mobile yang baru seperti 9W2TEA dan 9W2TPT.

tu je la..

KF-163 Tracker build in radio....

2009-03-21T21:44:00.005+08:00

20 Mac lepas,Martin berkunjung ke kedai aku,bersamanya KF-163,tracker terbina didalam radio ini.Pada mulanya,aku rasa produk ini dah agak uzur..he..he..marah Martin nanti.
Tetapi dengan berbekalkan sumber rujukan dan cakera padat,aku berjaya menkonfigurasi KF-163 in dengan jayanya.Biarpun ada beberapa masalah luaran,seperti wiring, namun berkat kesungguhan aku,akhirnya 3 unit tracker ini berjaya diprogram.Dan akan berada di atas peta untuk beberapa hari berikutnya sebelum dihantar ke utara tanahair.Sebelum dihantar,aku akan menjalankan beberapa ujian pancar...
Inilah hasil bukaan aku kepada unit ini,nampak solid dan mantap.Dengan harga RM300, aku rasa amat berbaloi untuk memilikinya.Apakan tidak,cuma laburkan lagi wang untuk GPS receiver dan,anda sudah mempunyai standalone unit untuk sistem pengesan kenderaan anda.
Biarkan rig anda dihadapan untuk tujuan QSO,dan biarkan KF-163 ini melakukan tugasnya..
ha..ha..mungkin akan ada lagi beberapa unit berikutnya dijalanraya Malaysia...mengapa tidak...
buatan BOSCH...

Hmmm...dah lama pulak tak panaskan solder,8 keping board tracker yang sudah siap di'etching' oleh 9W2LL dan di'drill' oleh 9M2CJ menjadi mangsa pada petang tadi.Agak lama juga 'dok' fikir nak buat atau tidak,memandangkan agak kelapangan dan tak tahu nak buat apa,maka segala peralatan dari dalam kereta yang dibawa pulang ke kampung tempoh hari diturunkan.Mulanya hajat nak buat benda ni dikampung,tapi..faham-faham sajalah,sibuk kat kampung..

Setelah hampir 1 jam,siap juga akhirnya....4 keping sahaja.Yang selebihnya akan disambung besok.Bukannya apa,takut besok tak ada benda apa yang nak dibuat...he..he

Inilah antaranya yang sudah hampir siap.....letih jugak 'noh dok' buat benda ni...jangan marah

Ini pulak gambar dari 'eyeball' malam Sabtu lepas...

JA1OGS Talk at 9M4CME..

2009-02-15T22:58:00.005+08:00

15 Februari 2009,satu lagi titik bersejarah dilakarkan di dalam peta APRS Malaysia...
Terima kasih saya ucapkan terutamanya kepada,Art JA1OGS,Martin PA3/9M2FRI dan Haris 9M2ALL yang menjadikan acara 'Sesi Pengenalan APRS di 9M4CME' berlangsung dengan jayanya.
Jumlah peserta yang hadir agak memberangsangkan, saya cuma 'targetkan' dalam 15 stesyen sahaja,tetapi agak terkejut..jumlahnya satu kali ganda..terima kasih kepada semua yang hadir..
yang tak dapat hadir,boleh hadir pada 22 Februari di Port Dickson

Malah, Art berasa gembira kerana acara ini mendapat perhatian yang baik dikalangan penggiat radio amatur di Malaysia.

Sesi berlangsung dengan lancar,dan dengan pelbagai persoalan diutarakan,Art dan Martin berpuas hati dengan acara ini.Beberapa stesen APRS juga berjaya ditimbulkan di atas peta pada sesi tersebut,antaranya 9W2DJ.

Registration No. dan Validation No. juga diberikan kepada rakan-rakan yang berminat untuk menimbulkan rumah mereka diatas peta dunia..semoga dalam beberapa minggu yang berikutnya,peta Malaysia akan penuh dengan stesyen APRS..

Thank you very much to JA1OGS,PA3/9M2FRI for making this talk succesfull.....
see you again next year.........

Eyeball with Art and Martin..

2009-02-15T22:26:00.002+08:00

Pada 11 Februari lepas,aku berpeluang berjumpa dengan Art Takashi JA1OGS dan Martin 9M2FRI@PA3FRI...
Aku pergi pick-up mereka di Kepong Sentral (setelah mereka merayau-rayau di Low Yat) dan ber'tango-tango'an di sekitar rumah aku.Lebih kurang 20 minit kemudian Thiam sampai.Sempat jugak aku memegang VX8 dengan GPS....

The Famous JA1OGS,the man who bring the APRS to Malaysia..

Martin, PA3/9M2FRI...

VX8 with the optional items...GPS!

Selepas dapat panggilan dari Ong,kami semua menuju ke Ampang...untuk acara makan satay...
Martin kata," this is the best satay in Malaysia!"

9M2CJ,antara pelopor APRS di Malaysia...

9W2LL,Ong yang menjadi tulang belakang APRS di Kuala Lumpur..

panorama biasa..satay ayam dan daging yang habis dikerjakan oleh kami semua...

MY 9W2RUT-3 Station..

2009-01-14T19:28:00.006+08:00

Petang tadi,setelah lama terperosok dibawah tangga,akhirnya antena slim jim yang pernah menggegarkan dunia radio amatur tanahair negara tahun lepas berjaya dikerjakan..
Antena ini adalah ehsan daripada Hamid ataupun 9W2TPT.Terima kasih diucapkan kepada
beliau diatas sumbangannya kepada dunia APRS diMalaysia.
Dengan adanya kemudahan antena dan radio disaltmine ini..he..he.. maka akan bertambah rancaklah aktiviti APRS dikawasan ini.Pembukaan ini secara tidak langsung dapat memberikan liputan yang lebih luas,memandangkan 9M4RDG (maybe) dalam proses permohonan AA dan percubaan di Ampang.Maka waktu ini merupakan waktu yang sesuai untuk membuat percubaan.
Ditambah pula dengan kelas pengenalan APRS yang akan diadakan pada 1 Februari 2009 dan kelas susulan yang bakal diberi tahu nanti,maka harapan saya supaya aktiviti APRS di Malaysia dapat dikembangkan lagi.

Perkakas yang perlu...

yang ni pula yang menjadi magsa

rumah kedai 2 tingkat..berapa kaki?

antenna yang pernah menjadi sejarah kepada insan tertentu..TQ

Majlis Pemasangan Tower di 9M4CME

2009-01-11T21:42:00.020+08:00

Tanggal 11 Januari merupakan detik yang ditunggu oleh saya dan rakan-rakan yang lain.Apa yang membuatkan hari ini istimewa daripada hari yang lain? Hari ini 9M4CME akan dipasang dengan crankup tower dan saya terlibat secara langsung(chewah!!) dalam majlis ini..he..he.
Berikut adalah gambar yang sempat dirakam....jeng..jeng...jengs
3 stack tower yang baru dicat...

dan yang menjadi tonggak kejayaan utama dalam acara ini ialah
pokok pinang ini..
(banyak pokok yang menjadi mangsa dalam acara ini,jadi dimasa
hadapan sila hadkan acara ini)

dan,bila petang yang tinggal hanyalah ini...untuk acara kemuncak

banyak idea yang dicurahkan oleh pesertai untuk menjayakan acara ini..ini salah satu daripadanya..(Copyright tau!) sila teka tangan siapa?

dan akhirnya..acara kepuncak setelah seharian bertungkus-lumus...
Pak NIK dengan gaya supervisor..

dan lebih kurang pukul 7 petang..inilah hasilnya yang bakal melakar nama Malaysia dimata dunia..khususnya Mares sendiri...

saiz dish lebih kecil berbanding dengan yang digunakan di stesen minyak..itu yang menarik perhatian saya..
boleh mintak peruntukan dari kerajaan ke?he..he

My Simple Setup.....

2009-01-05T12:46:00.004+08:00

Untuk tatapan rakan-rakan,bagaimana rupa setup yang saya gunakan.Agak mudah..
GPS 80 dari Garmin (err dipinjam untuk tujuan experimen)

yang ni pula,tinytrak versi 3,tapi firmware versi 1.4.boleh dihomebrew,senang je..
ni unit yang ke-6,unit yang paling hensem pernah dihasilkan..nanti ada masa saya uploadkan unit-unit sebelumnya..

dan yang paling penting,rig pujaan ramai(he..he..)The famous Icom 2200H..tak semestinya rig ini sahaja..mana-mana rig yang ada socket untuk ptt dan external speaker boleh digunakan..
ha..ha..pendek kata semua rig la..

buat masa sekarang,saya masih lagi mencari GPS receiver yang kecik dan yang compatible dengan tinytrak ini.Dan ingin mencari mana-mana rakan yang berminat,supaya boleh diorder dalam beberapa unit.Untuk mejimatkan kos peghantaran..Dan beberapa rakan juga menolong mencari dibeberapa tempat..
Saya menunggu berita baik dari rakan-rakan ini...
Dan entah surat dari pengurusan Resort World sudah sampai belum...malam ni kena tanya Thiam,saya dah tertinggal informasi selama 5 hari..he..he..

Dan..posting dalam YG,menampakkan perkembangan yang positif..saya kena umpan Thiam dan Ong untuk buat kelas pengenalan kepada APRS.Apapun..Digipiter kena dipasang dahulu..
Tak jadi jugak..malam ni kena roger Thiam secepat mungkin...semoga ada berita baik menunggu

Apa itu APRS?
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ajmckinnon/aprs.htm
http://aprs.org/

tengah mencari pakar translate....

Bagi yang berminat dengan APRS,berikut adalah peralatan-peralatan yang diperlukan...

GPS receiver..pastikan ada serial port..menyokong format NMEA.Bluetooh atau USB tak 'ngam'

Tinytrak...ada beberapa versi..ada versi yang mahal macam Tinytrak4...banyak fungsi..tapi firmware masih 'beta version'

yang ini pula,model yang sebelumnya....Tinytrak3

dan yang paling penting dalam hobi radio amatur ni....sudah tentu lah radio ataupun rig.Tidak kira mobile rig ataupun handy...asalkan ada mic jack dan speaker jack sudah cukup untuk melaksanakan operasi ini...
mobile rig,bagi sesiapa yang masih terpinga-pinga...contohnya

dan handy yang agak familiar dikalangan ham operator....

untuk tinytrak,bagi yang gemarkan homebrew,boleh download diagram dari laman web ini, www.byonics.com.Tetapi demi menjaga kepentingan bisnes(he..he),pihak byonics hanya 'release" firmware untuk model pertama sahaja.Iaitu versi 1.4.Itu pun sudah cukup untuk dicuba..Diagram bagi versi 1-3 semuanya sama...cuba yang membezakannya ialah firmware dalam PIC tersebut.Bagi kaki homebrew..apa tunggu lagi..gather up your components and tools..start soldering.Litarnya tidak terlalu rumit...bagi yang berpengalaman,2-3 jam sudah mencukupi.

Itu sahaja untuk kali ini..

Sesi 'mengetest' Diamond CP22E

2008-12-28T21:16:00.000+08:00

Pagi tadi,pukul 11 aku terima panggilan dari 9M2CJ (Thiam),bahawasanya ada sesi pemasangan antena CP22E untuk tujuan kaji selidik dan pemantauan pancaran di rumah 9W2LL (Ong).Pukul 2 petang,aku pergi pickup Thiam kat rumah dan menuju ke Ampang.Tiba di Ampang,sempat juga pergi melawat junkyard.. tiada benda yang mencuit hati.Setelah habis minum secawan limau ais, aku pun menuju ke rumah Ong.Hujan turun renyai-renyai...setelah habis hujan, sesi pemasangan pun bermula....

Pada 7 Dec 2008,aku sempat join 9M2CJ (Thiam),9W2LL (Ong) dan 9W2HL (Ho) pergi buat survey untuk tapak Digipiter.Setelah bertungkus-lumus memanjat tangga besi menuju ke puncak Resort World,akhirnya aku tiba jugak kat atas tu.Tiba di atas,aku dan Ong mencari-cari point yang sesuai untuk tapak antenna CP22.Beberapa keping gambar diambil untuk tujuan 'post mortem' memacak antenna. Aku pun hidupkan GPS aku dan Garmin(Army Spec-9W2KRZ punya),untuk mendapatkan koordinat longtitud dan latitud.Setelah itu,sesi mengukur panjang cable pun bermula.Lebih kurang 30 minit kemudian,kerja-kerja men'survey' pun siap.Terima kasih kepada David kerana memberikan kerjasama penuh sepanjang sesi tersebut.
