North Johor Ham Community - Lapuran JOTA ke-50 pada 20-21 Oktober 2007

This vears' theme was "Malaysiaku Gemilang". Malaysiaku means "My Malaysia" and "Gemilang" means greatest, ex- cellent, enlightened and bright

This year Malaysia celebrates its 50 years of independence. It is a nice coincident with the 50th JOTA. Our mission in this year’s JOTA is to show the world that we are grateful being part of Malaysia, says Zakran Abdul Manan. We are a multiracial and multi- religious country and live happily with each other. Scouts around the world, multi-national organization is similar to Malaysia in a bigger size. We are just like representing the whole world's Scouts in a small country.
The special call signs 9M50Mx to commemorate the anniversary were used by the states while the HQ re- mained using 9M2PPM.

There was a Trans-national JOTA net, an open net be- tween the 5 JOTA stations and other amateur stations all over Malaysia, using linked 2m repeaters provided by MARTS, the national amateur radio society. Scouts had fun communicating with others in different part of the country.

being a multiracial, multi-religious and Greetings and contacts exchange, weather report and singing Scouts' songs are some of the things that went through the air. A special contact was A47JOTA, the national JOTA station of Oman.

The Scouts at 9M50MM contacted their brothers at JR7NXM in Aomori, Japan, a contact over 5800 km distance.

Zakran offers the suggestion to conduct regional nets at a scheduled time and frequency: “this will enable contacts between countries in the same region which is easier due to time zone and distance. Malaysia would like to volunteer to be the net control for South East Asia region”.
