Sekadar peringatan untuk saya dan rakan2...

Padah tiada piawai Sirim

Oleh Zulfa Mohamad

zulfa@hmetro.com.my

NIBONG TEBAL: Tindakan seorang wanita mempromosi peralatan telekomunikasi yang tidak mempunyai kelulusan Institut Penyelidikan dan Piawaian Malaysia (Sirim), menerima padah apabila alat berkenaan dirampas, semalam.

Sebelum itu, wanita berusia 40-an itu mempamerkan walkie-talkie dan radio mudah alih untuk tujuan jualan di Dewan Utama Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Transkrian dekat sini.

Orang awam yang meragui tindakan wanita terbabit menghubungi polis sebelum Inspektor Anwar Johari dari Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Ibu Pejabat Polis SPS mengetuai serbuan dengan kerjasama pegawai Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia (SKMM) diketuai Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Penguat Kuasa, Enkatesulu Juval serta pegawai penguat kuasa Sirim.

Timbalan Ketua Polis Daerah Seberang Prai Selatan (SPS), Asisten Superintendan Zulkifli Adamsah, berkata dalam serbuan itu lima unit walkie-talkie dan tiga unit radio mudah alih bernilai RM10,000 dirampas selepas didapati tidak mempunyai kelulusan Sirim.

Katanya, seorang wanita dari Parit Buntar, Perak yang juga jurujual peralatan berkenaan ditahan untuk siasatan manakala peralatan dirampas diserahkan kepada SKMM untuk tindakan lanjut.

“Tindakan diambil mengikut Seksyen 239 Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998 yang membawa hukuman denda tidak lebih RM100,000 atau dua tahun penjara atau kedua-dua sekali jika sabit kesalahan,” katanya.

Zulkifli berkata, siasatan lanjut masih dijalankan bagi mengenalpasti sama ada peralatan telekomunikasi berkenaan diseludup masuk ke negara ini.

“Jurujual berkenaan mendakwa tidak mengetahui bahawa penjualan alat itu menjadi satu kesalahan jika tanpa memiliki kelulusan Sirim.

“Polis juga mengingatkan orang ramai supaya memastikan peralatan dibeli mendapat kelulusan pihak berkuasa,” katanya.

Menurutnya, setiap alat telekomunikasi yang hendak dijual perlu mempunyai kelulusan Sirim kerana penggunaan alat yang tidak dibenarkan boleh mengganggu frekuensi alat komunikasi lain.

“Polis juga mengalu-alukan maklumat orang ramai mengenai penjualan alat telekomunikasi yang tidak mempunyai kelulusan Sirim,” katanya.

Jaluran Vs Simplek

Apakah maksud jaluran? Apakah maksud simplek?

Sedang aku mendengaq rakan² qso, aku terdengaq perbualan yg menyebut : " Saya tidak pernah qso dengan rakan di jaluran, selalunya di simplek sahaja."

Aku penin. Kalau ada rakan yang dapat bantu, perjelaskan? Boleh komen di bawah...

73,

Hapdate setelah sekian lama tak hapdate.. hehehe

Sejak kebelakangan ini aku sering mendengar sahaja di frequensi... Baru-baru ini aku ke lembah kelang atas tujuan kerja. Ketika dalam perjalanan aku mendegar sahaja di repeater² yang dapat didengari... sambil-sambil itu mendegar juga di lain² frekuensi. Cuba jugak untuk memancar, menggunakan handy dengan kuasa 5 watt dan antenna ¼ λ. tapi tak berapa berjaya walaupun feedbackdari repeater diterima dengan S9.

Dalam perjalanan balik pun aku cuba memancar, tapi masih sama. Lalu aku mendengar sahaja disepanjang perjalanan. Sehingga sampai ke kawasan utara, aku berjaya mencapai repeater 9m4rbb dan qso denga beberapa rakan.

Sehingga hari ini, aku masih sekadar mendengar di VHF. cuma sekali sekala jika kedengaran rakan sedang qso dan ingin mendapatkan maklumat, aku akan cuba memanggil.

haha.. apa yang aku merepek ni. tadak idea sebenaqnya. Skang kat tempat kerja baru dan belum sesuaikan diri. Nak kena belajaq benda baru.

jumpa lagi...

Recent Malacca Fox Hunt

THis is from the Musang...

" Hi fellow hunters ...

The recent Malacca Fox Hunt held at "Taman Rekreasi Ayer Keroh, Malacca" was a great success!
Congratulations to the Malacca organisers, helpers and participants in making this event a reality.

To make it more exciting, new items were introduced into the local (Malacca) scene.
Like ...
1. Linear Run direction ... The "Start" and "Finish" no longer be at the same place.
2. Electronic Tagging ... Trial run using electronic tagging so that we can find out the time of arrival at each beacon.
3. Homing beacon ... This beacon transmits on separate frequency to guide hunters to the "Finish" line.
4. Staggered batch release at "Start" point.
5. Horizontal polarisation ... Use of Turnstile antennas.

Even with these introductions, we are still far from the international ARDF expectations BUT we are getting there.
We need to share our know-how, in order to further improve ARDF activities in the local scene and introduce it to
the others. ( Hope hams know how to communicate! )

The write-up and results are available at ...

Malaysian Light House Weekend.. Fort Cornwallis Light House..

As the title... i drop by at Fort Cornwallis Light house to join fellow ham there. There we're few station there. Had a chit- chat with them. Even though it was raining all day, they still keep on dxing.. keep up the good works guys. See u all again next weekend on International Light House Weekend. Will be drop by to support. Here's some pic taken during my drop...

(p.s. : more pic will upload tonight.. but no promise...)

Updates...

Updates as on 7 July 2009... have not been on my shack lately. however i do got myself a new progamming cable for icom n yaesu ft60r. help a fren to set his icom 2200h then resetting n clear some memory on my v8000 n ft60r.

today 7 July, today i got another year older... hopefully this year will be better life. till some other time.. 73

Life lately...

Well lately i seldom active QSO on any repeater ot simplex. Except on 146.550 where i usually ragachew wif local ham. however still not as much as before. Nowadays being busy wif work n family, i hardly grab the mic n work any station on the VHF. well when i got a chance to take the mic n qso i will sure take that opportunity... like last weekend i did make a dx contact with a station in taiping. this is possible maybe due to the antenna that i'm using right now which is the double 5/8 bought from another local ham.

The antenna has been in my store room quite awhile... then i went to a iron workshop to make a boom n joint it wif a satellite dish holder ( ASTRO receiver dish). i havent got time to take the pic yet. later when the mood come then i will post up pic of my new antenna setup.

until then... 73 fm me de 9w2acy

Lap top for HAM... :)

Stumble on this on the web... kinda kool, kreative and innovative.

(Pic from Engadget.com and originally from ironwork.jp/monkey_farm )



The best part....

Why??????

Well its all started with what happen recently. When an OT said that he's pulling the big swtich forever because of what is happening around the scene... i admit that what he said is true. but no one ever care bout it. he who's love this hobby so much have talk bout it for quite some time. but no one had paid attention. however allmost all of us (new ham) started the bobby the wrong way... but some of us lucky that found the right path and stay on it... still many are going the wrong way even though the right path is just a step forward... almost all of us that into this hobby because they got the wrong impression or the wrong information what is ham radio. even myself at first thought that ham radio is just talking with walkie talkie... them with the help of uncle google n granpa yahoo... more n more bout the truth is found. after read alot from various source i fall in love with this hobby. not because i can talk with fren using walkie talkie.. its all because the knowledge that has in it... all the fun u can have with it.. well... to the OT.. i respect to your decision. i know it is hard make the decision. i hope u'll come back to the air... i will try to call u on 40 meter after i got the ticket. when... time will tell...

Penang ARDF Event - Completed

The event has successfully completed. I was assign to be the Fox No.5 or MO5. It has been a good event eventhough only small participant but it is a quite tough to find all the fox. What's important is the friendship that has build among the crew n participant n more knowledges has been shared.

The event started at around 8.30 with the registration of participant. we the foxes we sent away earlier to our fox den n prepared the fox. i was located in the botanical garden. It as a tricky place as hunter passing by but still cant located the fox. However that place will never be a fox den again. as hunter already knew about it. in the future event new den will be choose.

Later the event finish at around 12.00p.m. with all the foxes n hunter gather at the finish line. Then I parted with the other event crew n join the foxes for a lunch. The other crew n participant went to McD fur their lunch as I n the V60 Foxes went to have our nasi n kari ikan bawal. Tok Penghulu V60 also went to pick up our Beloved elmer Pak Eshee to join us at the lunch. Thank you Pak Eshee for joining us. After had a good lunch n a good lough we then parted at around 2.00pm to our home.

Thats all from me,
