Nine Whiskey Two Tequila Vodka Rum... over.

Aah Yes... Echolink.

After 3 days of trying, I'm finally hooked up on the Echolink. Definitely an alternative if you "can't" afford a Hamshack at Base yet. Though, it has its limitations.

1st Echolink QSO - with 9M2CW (Chin, Ipoh), but cut off (TOT) after intro. Tried to re-connect but to no avail. 2nd Echolink QSO - with 9W2YCC (Chan, Cheras). 5/9.

Day 1: downloaded Echolink after hearing QSO on RKK (teruja, beb). Tried to validate AA but something went wrong with document (issue & expiry date missing!)
Day 2: scanned and email original AA and replied to Echolink validation. Hooray! Approved. Tried to log in BUT problem with Router.
Day 3: Enabled my DMZ to work with my P1 Router. Figured it out! Yesss!

Been a long time...

...since me last posting. Executive summary: -

1) Got the TM-271A on mobile! But..., will definitely be enticed at the coming Hamfest M'sia 2010 this coming 30 July-1 August @ KL Tower!

2) Viral + Bacterial Fever! Oh dear... Annual Leave wasted!

3) XYL in hospital - Bacterial Infection! Bad times... But survived.

4) Mobile antenna clamp broke! Crap. Changed to me old quarter wave...but that too - the cable snapped! Crap x2. (Thanks to my resident MacGyver, it was fixed good as new!) Now, gotta look for a dual-band rig to match me dual band antenna...hmmmm... "Alasan".

5) Off to Kuching for Rainforest World Music Festival! Great time. Though, not a peep from any hams in Kuching. Apparently, they have only ONE repeater.

6) Back in KL with much to do. But business has been GOOD. Syukur!

7) Gearing up for Ramadhan, Hamfest, BR24's 3rd Year Anniversary, and Aidilfitri!

New contacts in my QSO Log: -

- 9W2UJO (Johari - long lost friend from ntv7)
- 9W2LMF (Ben)
- 9M2GTR (Faizal)
- 9M2NL (Nasir)
- 9W2TGT (Koh)

Thanks guys!
