CONTEST: AP-Sprint-SSB
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL LOW SSB
CLAIMED-SCORE: 306O
PERATORS: YB2ECG
NAME: SARDJANA

It's only 18Q's on 20m but stil got the fun. I know that it's hard to beat that t-shirt but as long as your adrenaline rise-up you stil got the fun.
Comparing last year's result with 30Q's sure it's not quiet happy, but joining any Sprint Contest series such as AP Sprint is so different.
Band condition, according to my loc and my shack, only worth on 20m. 15m is deaf! A little maintenance for my TH3MK-IV maybe is a good option.

Do you wanna feel your adrenaline rising-up pse take a look on AP-sprint!
And sure hope next time will be better!
Keep on contesting!

UK DX RTTY 2010 contest : let's get started!

This is my first contesting on 2010, specially on rtty mode. It's nice contesting as usual.
The category is Single Operator All Band Low Power, so the opportunity is so wide to work on all band.
And, I feel happy now, I see it looks grew on YB-land who active on digital mode, especially on RTTY!
My first QSO was with an active contester: E21YDP on 40m, and then....wow two YB-landers on 40m: YB1ALL and YB8FL, welcome guys! Honestly I have some doubt about YB8FL, I was afraid that I made some error; is he truely YB8FL or YB8EL? But finally I'm sure about this Old Man...then I worked YB8EL himself on next 20m!
It's seems that I have a lot of JA's on this contest. Only a few nice QSO from EU, VR, W, HL.
Due to the bad season I closed the log early and here's the statistics :

QSOs Points DXCC Dom UK
40m 4 8 3 0 0
20m 65 190 12 0 0
Total 69 198 15 0 0

Score: 198*(15+0) = 2970

Thanks to all station worked and also for putting me on the cluster.
Keep on contesting!

Track your route on Google Earth

Now you've got your Garmin Nuvi GPS and you know about Google Earth. How about combining the two interesting things?
The easiest way is seeing your rute you've made on your Nuvi on the Google Earth. Too bad that my Nuvi has no capability to talk with Google Earth; so the option to combine the Nuvi data is doing by manually.

First fireup your Nuvi and connect to your computer. Fireup also your Google Earth programmed. After succesfully acces the Google Earth server drag a file with the extension .GPX from your Nuvi to the Places Folder.

Soon will be created a place called GPS Device consisting waypoint, tracks and routes.
Now you will see the tracks on the Google earth screen and sure also with some waypoint from your favorites.
Very interesting and nice.
So if you wanna see where your mate have been going you could grab his GPS and load the .gpx to your google earth, and you'll see where the place he's been visiting.....

Shopwiki : ......a new wiki?

Being influenced with internet we've already know about some wiki: wikipedia provides the encyclopedia, wikimapia provides wiki for map.
Now what about shopwiki?
Does it provide also wiki on shop? You bet it.
As a surfer, and also a ham radio, who's progressive, maintain the knowledge and skill, shoping via internet is a must.

We can order such as book [I've several time made order to ARRL, bought ON4UN Low Band DX-ing, ARRL HandBook and even HamRadio Map] and get satisfied with the service.
What about the other things? Now, just like a wiki, shopwiki provide plenty of things you could buy.

As a ham radio, sometime coffe and tea is the best friend along chasing the rare station, sure you could order kitchen and dinings things, coffee maker, toaster and steamer so you don't need worry along the night on your radio room.
With a hundred of groups things you could search the good that you need from your computer.
From accesories, automotive things and also wedding things such as wedding rings.

What about some celebrations after tired and long contesting? Sure you could toast with friend with some wine, sure also you can get the wine glasses from shopwiki....Just try it!
