Via Southgate: Indonesian Beaches On The Air (iBOTA)

ORARI members who are members of amateur radio portable Bali, held activities Indonesian Beaches On The Air (iBOTA) and Indonesian Temple On The Air (iTOTA) at Goa Lawah Beach and Temple, Klungkung Regency, Bali, Sunday, July 31

A translation of a post by the Indonesian national amateur radio society ORARI reads:

Goa Lawah Beach tourist destination which is located in the Klungkung Area, is also close to other tourist attractions, namely Goa Lawah Temple, so that these 2 activities can be carried out properly in one day.

The chair of ORDA Bali, I Gusti Ngurah Agung (YB9AG), expressed his joy on completion of this activity. “We always coordinate with the local Tourism and Culture Office, in every similar activity. ORARI has been working with the government for a long time to stimulate tourism.” In addition to thanking the organizing committee and Amateur Radio who have participated, Agung also appealed, “So that amateur radio colleagues who like DX-Pedition, continue to explore, and broadcast interesting places in their territory through radio waves”. he added.

The head of the event organizer, Suhariyanto (YC9BQM), from the other end of the phone said, “There were 1,043 participants (chasers) who took part in the activity starting from 08.30 – 21.30 WITA. The number of activators who activate this activity is 8 people (iBOTA: 6, and iTOTA: 2 people). In this activity we use a Wire Dipole Antenna to transmit at a frequency of 40m. The place for this activity is also quite comfortable and strategic, we can hold two activities at once. Suhariyanto added, “This activity gives many benefits to our colleagues who have just joined ORARI. In addition to learning to operate HF radio, they also learn to be operators, especially how to deal with pile ups when calling to enter a frequency. We are also planning a similar activity in the near future.” he concluded.
