Mataking Island Trip

The Island Restraurant at night. East side of the Island. Very good combination of beach and trees. View toward Timba-timba Island and Bohaydulong Island further over the east side of the Island. Sea waves washing up to the rock. Mataking kecil at the far side of the picture. Tourist can walk there when sea tide low and the sand beach appears. The Mataking Main Island(Mataking Besar) Tourist enjoy the soft sand walking toward Mataking Kecil.

Recent Wedding Photography

Here is some of the photos taken during my recent wedding job as backup official photographer for a new couple.(Gear: Sony Alpha A200 with 18-70mm Lens(Backup lens Minolta 50mm F1.7 and Minolta 70-210mm F4), HVL-42AM Flash Gun)

OSCAR SAT = AO-51
QTR = 0814 UTC
Date = 5/11/2010
Satellite path = Philipine pass.
Setup = FT60R 5Watt power

But today AO-51 have so many interference from no callsign transmissions on the uplink path and due to that, I unable to confirm contact with JA6PD. Thank you 9W6ZUL for the audio recording that day and confirm that JA6PD heard my callsign. Unfortunately I can't get his call for the second time to confirm contact.

6m band made CQs at 50.100MHz USB
Band Condition = No activities.
Setup = FT-897D + ATAS120A

Other band too condition bad cause of too great of broadcasting RF effects the operation.

Thank you.
