Selamat Tahun Baru 2009

Terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengumumkan laman baru saya telah mula beroperasi dengan rasminya mulai 01/01/2009 di alamat URL baru 9w2bba Portal Website atau http://portal.9w2bba.net/index.php. Kepada semua rakan-rakan sila bookmarks alamat tersebut.

Assalamualaikum WBT dan Selamat Sejahtera,

Dengan penuh rasa kesyukuran saya mengucapkan selamat menyambut Maal Hijrah 1430 dan tahun baru 2009 kepada seluruh warga Radio Amatur Malaysia, khususnya kepada semua pelawat dan ahli laman ini.

Sempena dengan ketibaan tahun baru ini, marilah kita sama-sama berazam untuk terus berusaha dan terus maju serta memberikan perkhidmatan yang terbaik kepada semua yang memerlukan dengan lebih pantas, cekap dan berkesan.

Sebagai warga Radio Amatur yang berperanan menjadi penghubung disaat kecemasan, kita mestilah memastikan sistem komunikasi kita mantap serta menjadi lebih cekap, tepat dan berkesan, agar pihak yang memerlukan memperolehi maklumat yang sahih dan berintegriti.

Kepada seluruh warga Radio Amatur, marilah kita berazam untuk memastikan hobi ini terus berada dilandasan terbaik dari tahun sebelumnya. Kita jadikan segala pengalaman  sepanjang tahun 2008 sebagai pengalaman dan pengajaran serta kita buka lembaran baru di tahun 2009 dengan tekad dan hasrat untuk memastikan hobi tercinta ini terus cemerlang, gemilang dan terbilang diarena tempatan dan antarabangsa.

Marilah kita sama-sama berdoa, moga tahun 2009 akan lebih baik bagi kita semua berbanding tahun 2008.

Terima kasih.

Mobile Installation Power Ground

On the Technician class test there is a question which says, “What is the purpose of a fuse in an electrical circuit?” and the answer is, “To interrupt power in case of overload.” In the Gordon West Technician Class Q And A book it says, in the added notes, “Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible.” (Page 162). That is good advice because if for any reason the positive wire’s insulation is damaged and the wire touches the chassis or engine (a hot manifold is a frequent cause of this problem) then it will blow the fuse if it is close to the battery but not if it is between the radio and the short.

On that same page it shows a schematic of an installation and it shows a fuse in the negative line. Many hams think that is unnecessary because you will not cause a short if the negative wire touches the metal of the vehicle. So why place a fuse in this line?
