How to start?
What are Air Internet
Jamboree (AIJ)? Air Jamboree How do I get started? To participate in APR – AIJ you really need two things: Radio equipment and at least one local Amateur Radio Operator (licensed). Amateur Radio operator who is able to operate the radio station. In some Scout groups you may have both of these already. Lots of scouts are also Amateur Radio Operator, and they would be able to help you get “on the air” during that event. If you don’t have Amateur Radio Operator in your scout group, you have to find probably have some ion your community. Maybe have some Amateur Radio Club at your place. Basic Operating the Station APR AIJ will take place on Saturday 2nd August 2014 at 00.00 UTC & Sunday 3rd August 2014 at 23.59 UTC. The official opening ceremony will be on 10.00am (Malaysian Standard Time) or 02.00 UTC on Saturday, 2nd August 2014. However, the number of participant varies throughout the weekend. Once on the air, Radio Amateur can enter the event by calling “CQ Jamboree” or by using other station using this call. Remember that all Radio Amateurs must strictly observe their radio licence regulation all the time. The Scout Frequency
It’s amazing how quickly most people get comfortable talking on the radio, but everybody can get shy sometimes. Don’t worry about this, and remind people to talk naturally and calmly and they will be conversing in no time at all. The tips how to make a conversation on the air:
2. Take your time. 3. Speak slowly and clearly. 4. Ask for a repeat if you are not sure you understood. 5. Talk naturally, as if you were talking to your buddy on the phone. Working Radio, Repeaters and Radio Link System In Traditional radio communication was point to point (simplex) that is from one radio directly to another. This works well especially on low frequencies usually designated HF (High Frequency, started 3 to 30 MHz range). This band can be reflected back to Earth by the ionosphere layer at the atmosphere we call “skip” or sky wave propagation. These frequencies also can be used for long distance communication (DX). Sometimes it is more convenient to use VHF (Very High Frequency, from 30 to 300 MHz) because the equipment is simpler and the antennas are much shorter. However the VHF does not usually bounce off the ionosphere, so the distance you can cover is limited maybe around 80 to 100km depends of land of sight. Since Radio Amateurs want to expend the VHF coverage, many amateur radio clubs was establish the VHF repeaters in the VHF bands. These are special radios that can receives a radio frequency and repeat it on another slightly different frequency. Now a radio just the edge of the range of repeater and the broadcast signal can be picked up by a radio 100km further away other side of the repeater. Now it already can extend about 200km. New Linking Technologies – Using the internet The internet and computer communications includes linking technologies like Echolink by using VoIP (Voice Internet Protocol). For distance, your local radio may connect you to a radio repeater and can make a contact to our scout radio station. It must be connected to the internet and when you transmit; your voice is also transmitted from that faraway in other country. Make it fun & enjoy Your APR-AIJ event can include many other activities including: 1. -Educational activities about communication. (International alphabetical) 2. -Communication oriented games (semaphore , fox hunt etc) 3. -Emergency preparedness communication. 4. -Morse code practice. QSL Card Sending via mail the QSL card is the traditional method to make a confirm contact after make a contact on the air. QSL card is like a post card over there we put the photo of your scout group with the radio station call sign.
