My History in Radio Amateur

My interested of radio electronic and communications started when I was join the boy scouts movement late 1973. Every year in the month of October, there are one World Jamboree to be held in the air wave in my local scout communities in Kedah, Malaysia. When I was join my first jamboree called JOTA (Jamboree On The Air)  my interested in radio electronic and communications was started.

Until now, I m still kept 2 units of walkie talkie as my sentimental value and memories in my life as a radio-communications hobby. This is my story:-

1978 19~29 Oct, 1978 - JOTA 21
