KMA4WDC Hardcore 4x4 Challenge 2009

Organizer: KMA4WDC (Kota Marudu Adventist 4 Wheel Drive Club)
Location: Kg Lotong, Kota Marudu
Date: 8-9th March 2009
I was one of the official photographer, and also one of the humble sponsors for the event. I however wasn't able to shoot on the 8th and througout the whole day on the 9th since I was booked for by a couple on the 8th as their wedding photographer. If you were there from Sunday till Monday, you would be able to see some vehicle capsized. I wasn't able to photograph everything, I'm sorry, but here's a bit of what I can share. ENJOY!

1st Radio Contact in Kuala Lumpur

I have been to Kuala Lumpur a few times and this is my first time bring along with my portable Ham Radio. I am a licensed Radio Amateur user with the callsign 9W6TCO which is also called as "Nine Whiskey Six Tango Charlie Oscar". Ever heard of it? i mean this radio amateur stuff? clicking http://abang9m2sy.blogspot.com might help you if you don't.

Well, as i say, this was my first time doing radio contacts/chats/QSO in the peninsular. To do this, you will have to own a portable radio like the one in my hand. We normally use frequencies/QRG slightly higher than the ones we use to hear in our car radio. for example if your radio tuned stations is on Mix.fm.. lets say 88.9... we radio amateur often go above it at 147.789hertz for example.

One page posting will not be enough to tell you more about it, but to cut it short, i manage to make contact with a radio amateur station whose location is in petaling Jaya. His callsign is 9W2MTC also known as Mr Marcus Lau. It really was my pleasure to meet him. Although my stay in KL was just overnight, but i still manage to travel and meet him for such a short time.
