PLACE: Tanjung Lobang Lighthouse, Miri, Sarawak
CALLSIGN : 9M4LHM
The event was jointly organised by Amateur Radio Club Sarawak (ARCS) and Sarawak Marine Department. This is the first time that such an event has been held in Sarawak. Sarawak Marine Department's Director, Tn Haji Zahidin was present and shared with others the importance of lighthouses to the marine navigation.
The main propose of the event was to promote awareness of lighthouses to the public. The Tanjong Lobang Lighthouse was built in the early 1940s prior to the onset of the 2nd World War.
The callsign (9M4LHM) assigned to Tanjong Lobang Lighthouse for this event was applied by MARTS (Malaysia Amateur Radio Transmitter Society) and activated by ARCS.
ARCS would like to give credit to 9W8CH (ARCS President), 9M8DB(station manager), 9W8KIF, 9M8MBB, 9M8MET, 9M8ADX, 9W8SIR ,9W8IQA, 9W8NCT and 9M8WAT (station master) for participating in this event. Also not forgetting Alvin who brought a few Scout members from Bintulu to lend a helping hand in setting up the 9M4LHM amateur radio station and introducing these young scouts to the workings of amateur radio.
