JASRA repeater's Valentine gift

this year, we celebrated St. Valentine's day

with a machine ... a repeater to be exact...

at 7:45am i was woken up by 9W2BUG Jaya to be on duty

as a tukang sibuk ... or in english ... a repairman hahahha

everthing was A OK when we're up there .... so Jaya starts

his troubleshooting on output and input signals...

finally he guesstimate that it has dry joint at the finals ...

the transmitting power circuits ...

so off he go ... stripping of the repeater ...

and ta daa ...... he's like repeater doctor now ...

because what he presume and assume is soooo....correct...

above the dry joint has built up due to wear and tear

and some PCB has been lifted up.....

so here i comes into picture ... hahahahaha

heng aa !!!

... i brough along my solder gun and solder... hahahaha

Jaya troubleshooting ...

our new friend Ansar ... getting a Happy Valentine's call
hehehehehe u see his smile u know laaa hahahahahha


me as usual .... trying to act buzy ... getting the exact
location of our repeater ... not only location but also
the height of the antenna .... not an easy task...
in fact ... the most demanding and dangerous task

i'm just less then 1 feet from the building's edge !
you know .... i'm standing at 114 meters above sea level...
that's about guesstimation of 30 story high ...

u say ... who's job toughest ? i should be rewarded rite ???
.... i betcha !


our clearner in the house ... hehehehe 9W2JOC
instead of just brushing off the dust ...
u saw the red brush above the cabinet ...

he go to the extreme to polish the whole cabinet ...
inside out ... top to bottom .... squecky clean ...
proclaiming his love of 5 years relationship with the cabinet
bla bla bla ..... bla bla bla i quicky moved my lens to Jaya
i got goosebump hearing it hahahahahaha

the problem has been rectified and been corrected ...
testing time .....

and i was rewarded handsomely as handsome as i do

as always ... duh ....

standing at 114 meters high .... memang henchem..

hahahahahahaha

that's my virgin's swr meter ...... if you dunno ....

putting into good use..... i wonder the reflected meter is

DOA (Dead On Arrival) hahahahahha

we wish not .... as we do not have spares nor energy

to climb down ....

Jaya re-arrange the repeater and now our DIY cavity

filter sits inside our newly polished cabinets ...

that'll bring many year more of excellent services ...

*finger cross*

so the final testing begins ....

thanks to those that helps the signal reports

so............. i went missing again .....

as usual .. i roam around ... and here's some pics that

worth sharing .... we'll it's definately worth taking ....

and heck ... talking about it hahahhaha

that's my dream house .... yah .. i know it's your dream

house too .... but i saw it 1st ....

and to bid farewell to JASRA Repeater and Cabinet ...

cheers to the team and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

JOHOR BAHRU !!!
