My web hosting is acting up

Sorry for the regular outage of my website. It seems my shared webhosting provider are having problem with high load right now. If the problem persist, I think I might move my blog to some place else which could service this website.

I just felt pitty that all local webhosting company that i’ve tried, ended up overselling their bandwidth and load up until the service availability is compromised.

I’ll continue updating my website as usual as soon I sort out this problem

Amateur Radio Callsign here is 9W2WTF

For those who are wondering, I am a licensed Amateur Radio operator and my callsign is 9W2WTF. I live in the northern part in Malaysia, in a town called Alor Setar.

As an amateur radio operator I usually monitor local repeater (145.525 MHz -0.600, tone: 103.5) and local simplex on 145.425 MHz mostly during night time.

I use an Icom v8 and Icom IC V8000 as my communication equipment. My hobby includes antenna homebrewing and finding the most energy efficient way to transmit as far as possible using the least power.

That’s all for now. Thanks for visiting. I can be reached at [email protected], or [email protected]

73 to all 🙂
