Information |
Winston/9M8WIN, Robin/9M8BAT, Iruan/9M2WAZ, Muhamad/9M2MAD, Zul/9M2RSI, Sam/9M2DOC, Pian/9M2SPN, Lai/9M8LJW, Alex/9W8VYY and possibly more (10-12 operators are planned), will be active as 9M8T from Big Talang-Talang Island (IOTA AS-165) on June 4-20 (2027?). Pilot station MarHazK/9M8HAZ and QSL Manger Mohamad/9W8ZZK.
Pulau Talang-Talang Besar is the larger of the two Talang islands off Sematan in western Sarawak — the heart of Talang-Satang, the state's first marine national park and a nesting refuge for green and hawksbill turtles.
Access is controlled to protect the nesting beaches, which makes the island a genuinely rare one on the air. Under the callsign 9M8T, a team drawn from across Malaysia, will be active on 80-6 meters (possibly 160m) on CW, SSB and the FT Digital modes, with a real-time CQ feed (ClubLog's LiveStream) so chasers can see what's on where.
QSL via 9W8ZZK direct (SAE and 4 $US), ClubLog's OQRS, QRZ or LoTW. No Bureau.
