Donate your unused equipment PLEASE!
Heads up! The 40 thieves have come a long way. Those of you who have stepped into our lair have seen what a few caring members can achieve with almost no resources. Those who have helped us get to where we are... we thank you and you know who you are.
Unfortunately, the next stage of development calls for something more than just well wishes and eyeballs. SO..... we are appealing to the general ham crowd ( even if you are not..... we welcome your contribution... and then we will get you your ham license. No, you still need to take your exam.)
We are looking high and low for derelict PCs. Specifically P3 and better. If you have a disused piece somewhere, let us in on it. We intend to use it here to augment our WiFi experience ( its free for all users, by the way) to host our very own interactive blog / forum where all users can post their oen thread (topic).
So... rather than let it become obsolete, allow us to give it a new lease on life. If you don't have stuff to donate but know of someone with more stuff than they can use - tell us. All informers will be treated confidentially. Those tech-heads out there... this is your chance to do something for the ham community and then get a brand spanking new gleaming upgrade.
While you are at it.... we can use cables, mouses, keyboards, hard drives, cd writers, monitors, speakers, boom boxes, cabinets, barbeque grills, extension cords, keyboards etc. (You get the idea) Anything you think we can use here.
Anyone wishing to dispose of old radios/antennas etc, also drop us a line. If necessary, we will take up a collection to ease the pain of giving or loaning your rig to us. We are also looking to stock the facility with board games, cards, radio catalogs, etc.
So.... start raiding your long term storage for items which you think will see better mileage with the Ali Baba gang. 73s and give til it hurts. Needless to say. The stuff should be operational.

Amateur Radio 2m Net via 9M2RKK Repeater in KL
FATHERS DAY - Sunday,June 19, 2005
A practice started since World Telecommunication Day, 'Celebration Net' a noble idea, started by long time DXing OL, 9M2DS, Pak Dollah continued with its third Celeb Nite. (World Telecom Day-1st Celeb 2m Net / Wesak Day-2nd Celeb 2M net)
Some preparations started well before the day, with stations exchanging info, and the date logged into the 2m Net calendar (linked through this blog). Preparations were also made to connect to Penang, and with the help of 9W2XL-Bear (Securing the services through 9W2AQ-Azmi) and though at the very last minute , 9M2NCL-Andre(Penang stn), enlisted the help of 9W2PG-Peter (Peneng stn) at approximately 1900hrs, a live connection was achieved, via 147.980mhz 9M2RKK, Kuala Lumpur with Penang and some overs were exchanged between 9W2AQ, 9W2MCT, 9W2PG, 9M2NCL, 9W2YJ with 9W2AXN (monitoring our QSO thourgh www.eqso.net.)
Subsequently, the 2m Net kicked off with 9M2DS giving the introduction, and 9W2MCT providing the credits to all those involved with the preparations. The Net was well controlled with 3 controllers taking turns, 9W2MCT taking over from Pak Dollah, and subsequently, recruited at the very last second, 9W2XL taking the 3rd 45 minute session. As it was done with great enthusiasm, some stations got carried away, not realisinig perhaps, that it was after all Father's day! 9W2SSJ, had a big family dinner to attend hence was not able to take over as alternate Net Controller. The 2m Net ended at about 2300 hrs (+8 Gmt) with the last station checking in and 9M2DS closing the proceedings. A point to note is that the nearest station checking in was from Kuala Lumpur, and the furthest, from Hilton, North UK !! Testament to the reach of VoIP-RF interfacing.... HOpefully, our next 2m Net, Celeb or not will connect further.
