Monday, July 26, 2004 Hei Lars! TNX FR MAIL! Nå er vi vel tilbake i LA-land igjen, bortsett fra 2 stykker som åker rundt i Jämtland fortfarande, HI! Vi fikk utmerket service fra Lasse SM3EAE! Lett å finne etter beskrivelsen. Vi ringte også en halv time på forhånd, i tilfelle han skulle stenge butikken. Han kjørte foran oss, og loset oss fram til Holmstagården. Der traff jeg en bekjent! Jeg hadde spurt Lasse om det var flere som het Astrid H. Det trodde han ikke, og da alderen passet, og gården likeså, skjønte jeg at det måtte være samme Astrid jeg hadde lekt med i 1964!!!, under et familiebesøk, som kom istand etter at min mor og Astrids mormor hadde brevvekslet gjennom MOROKULIEN i lang tid... Astrid ble bortimot chockad, når jeg viste fram 40 år gamle bilder, med henne i mine armer! Det ble flere gode kramar og hilsner til hennes morsa. Astrid m/familie kommer på gjenvisitt, senere i sommer! Dette ble rene solskinnshistorien, HI! Vi har hatt en trevlig helg, og blitt kjent med hverandre. Det var jo det som var det primære. XYL's & harmoniske og flere av HAM-sen, hadde f.eks. bare hørt røster i høgtalarne. Nå kan de også se ansikten foran seg. Lisensinnehaverne er jo også relativt ferske som HAMs, og vi syns at det sosiale er vel så viktig som å sitte ensom i radiorommet. Som du sier, conds was poor! Men noen kontakter ble det. Alle QSO's, bortsett fra den første som står i loggboken, ligger på PC! Vi spiste godt, og humøret var på topp. På lørdag i regnværet, oppfylte vi XYL's ønsker om shopping. Noen dro til Sundsvall, og andre til Hammarstrand. Var også innom flere "loppisar", og gjorde fynd! De er ikke så vanlige i Norge. Vi tok en god del dig. bilder, så jeg legger ved bare et par eks.
På søndag kveld hadde jeg et kort referat på vår lokale QST-Fosen sending. Du skal ikke se bort fra at vi tar en tur et annet år!
Kanskje med flere deltagere, HI! Bildet på trappen viser alle deltagerne. Bak til venstre er LA3RLA Kai Rune. Så kommer LA3WMA m/XYL Norunn og datter Hilde (maskotten vår, HI!) Helt til høyre LA6VNA Tom Rune, og med familien foran seg: Kristian 5 år, XYL Linda og Petter 7 år. Foran til venstre med hver sin hund, LA3TMA Morten og XYL Nina. I midten LA3XMA Odd og LA7FW Tor.
Reparasjon av mikeconnector foretas av uheldige LA3WMA til venstre, og LA3TMA Morten som var parat med verktøy og kunnskap. LA3RLA
Kai tar nærbilde.
Hilde foran Paviljongen. Vil sende flere bilder når jeg mottar de andre fotografenes "blinkskudd". Har vært innom SI9AM WEB. Finner bilder og tekst fra forrige helg, men det går uvanlig langsomt å få sidene fram. Forstår at dere hadde besøk av LB1AF Per-Olav! Han ble tilfeldigvis vår første QSO! På vegne av LA2U FOSENGRUPPEN av NRRL, vil jeg få lov å takke for at vi fikk besøke SI9AM, og at alt var lagt så fint til rette for oss. Tor Hoff PS: Har ikke noe imot at du fritt kan legge ut det du ønsker på SI9AM WEB. Jeg kommer også til å sende noe stoff til NRRL's medlemsblad AMATØRRADIO etter hvert. |

Every year Ragunda Municipality celebrates King Chulalongkorns visit in Utanede in July 19, 1897. During July 16 – 17 it was a conference “Gateway for exchange Thailand & Northern Europe” in Ragunda with participants from Sweden and Thailand. Ragunda Municipality had also this year invited us to show amateur radio and inform about SI9AM inside the Thai Pavilion area during July 16 – 19. During these days we also showed our Visitor´s Amateur Radio Station SI9AM.

From RAST, Radio Amateur Society of Thailand's website. Commemorative QSO with SI9AM takes place July 18
A special commemorative QSO between Thailand and northern Sweden is scheduled for the evening of Sunday, July 18, one that will mark the fifth anniversary of the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Amateur Radio Station.
This HF radio contact is to be made from the newly-completed HS0AC club station at the Asian Institute of Technology using the callsign HS72B will be with the memorial station in Sweden that uses the special callsign SI9AM.
RAST will welcome three special guests coming to the event, M.R. Chakrarot Chitrabongs HS1VRD (Permanent Secretary to the Minister of Culture in the Royal Thai Government), Mr Tsuneo Hara JA8ATG, President of the Japan UNICEF Ham Club, and member of the JARL Board, and his daughter Sachai.
On the Swedish side we will have the County Governor and other dignitaries, including many Thais present for the celebration of the 107th anniversary of King Chulalongkorn's visit to northern Sweden. They will exchange greetings with our special guests and RAST officers. Unfortunately RAST President Mayuree Chotikul, HS1YL, is in hospital for some urgent medical treatment, and will not be able to attend the event. She hopes to be out of hospital in about a weeks time. Everyone at RAST wishes her a speedy recovery.
The 20 metre QSOs between SI9AM and HS72B (14275 KHz primary, 14283 KHz secondary) will start at 9pm Thailand time (1400 GMT) and will be relayed by 2m VHF on to the HS1AB repeater in central Bangkok. The repeater output (RX)frequency is 145.6750 MHz and the input (TX) frequency is 145.0750 MHz. We are grateful to the Station Manager and VRA for permission to use the repeater during the evening.
After the special QSOs are completed there will be an opportunity for Swedish HF stations to work HS72B, and then Thai HF stations to work SI9AM or HS72B. After that we will try to cross band QSOs from 2m to 20m via the HS1AB repeater. Major Narissara HS1CHB will control the QSOs.
If this process is not challenging enough, we will then attempt with the help of Khun Joe HS2JFW to connect echolink QSOs via HS1AB into HS72B.
It is difficult to fix the exact timing of each stage since it depends on radio conditions, the number of stations involved, and the technical complexity and success of the hook-ups. So please monitor the frequencies to hear announcements, and stay around to hear the fun. We expect to be at HS72B at least until midnight.
Frequencies to check:
Every year Ragunda Municipality celebrates King Chulalongkorn's visit to Utanede in July 19, 1897 and last year it was 150 years since King Chulalongkorn was born and there were big celebrations in the Thai Pavilion area. This year was also celebrated in a big way. For more information, see the SI9AM website.
On July 17 – 18 last year there was a big international conference (Gateway for exchange Thailand and Northern Europe there) in Ragunda with participants from Sweden, Thailand and the European Union. The purpose of the conference was to build up a centre of culture and conference chairmen were Permanent Secretary Ministry of Culture M. R. Chakrarot Chitrabongs, HS1VRD, and the governor of Jamtland County Ms. Maggi Mikaelsson. Ragunda Municipality had also invited SI9AM to demonstrate amateur radio and inform people about SI9AM inside the Thai Pavilion area in an exhibition marquee during July 17 – 19, 2003.

This Saturday it was not so warm but we were glad the there was no rain. We mounted down the borrowed mast. It was a hard work and it was not so easy to find out where everything should be, but at least we managed to what we thought was the right thing. Inside two electrician installed more switches and made everything more practicality. | ||||
