The Seanet Convention 2008 Organising Committees invites all HAMs Station, SWL and others ( Malaysian Citizens ) to attend the Seanet Convention in Kota kinabalu on the 20th -23rd November 2008. This year convention will be hosted by Borneo Amateur Radio Club, Sabah, Malaysia

The South East Asia Amateur Radio Network (SEANET) was established in 1964 on 20m (14.320 MHz plus or minus QRM). The objective of this Net is to promote international understanding and fellowship among hams and to relay emergency, medical, urgent or priority traffic. This on-the-air meeting which has taken place without fail daily at 1200 UTC has strengthened unity and co-operation among Hams around the world, especially those within the region. The net also provides Hams a facility for testing their equipment and propagation conditions on the 20m band.

Those interested to know more and would like to attend the convention please contact below.
