Just received this information today, that the IARU R3 ARDF Championships for Year 2009 has been cancelled. It was scheduled to run on Oct 29th until Nov 5th at Nakon Nayok, Thailand.

” Dear R3 ARDF Committee members,

I have received an attached letter from the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand.
Regretfully it officially informs that RAST as made a decision that it would be
prudent to cancel the championships that were planned to be held in Thailand from
October 29 to November 3, 2009.

I, therefore, would like to make a proposal concerning cancellation of the R3 ARDF
Championships in 2009.

With your consent, I make an announcement on behalf of the R3 ARDF Committee.
It would be highly appreciated if you acknowledge this proposal.
Awaiting your reply at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely yours,

ARDF Year 2009 - What’s in-store?

Hi fellow ARDF hunters,
Year 2008 was quite an interesting year for ARDF in Malaysia.
We had quite a number of field activities which many were carried out successfully on self-volunteer basis. The interest in this sport has certainly gained momentum. Often we will hear of clubs and societies putting Fox hunt as one of their future activities. As a wrap-up, ARDF activities in the form of technical workshops or hunts had sprung up not only in Penang but also in Wilayah, Segamat, Malacca and East coast of peninsular Malaysia. (a little birdie told me and my apologies if I left out any other ARDF events )
Ah! There was an international event which I had the opportunity to participate. The 14th World ARDF Championships held in Hwaseong City, South Korea. A real eye-opener.

So much for Year 2008.

Now, Year 2009 is here. We need to consolidate our individual efforts to boost the ARDF activities in Malaysia. It is a healthy sport where more participants the merrier! Either way, you still need to hone your individual skills and depend on your two legs to carry you throughout the game. Since we are quite a scattered group ( some quietly budding in some nooks and crooks ), we need to come together as an ARDF community. There is no need to form another club or society and get bogged down with unnecessary paperwork. Either way we boys ( and gals ) just wanna have fun!

Since I have already have a self-sponsored web site “www.MyARDFSport.com” dedicated towards ARDF activities, I volunteer to continue promoting ARDF activities in Malaysia. Would appreciate if you could contact me via email, so that I can get in touch with you on these activities. If you have any news or activities concerning ARDF in your club/society, I would like to hear from you.

This year, I have planned ….

May 2nd …  ( Revised 2x)
Penang Open Fox Hunt. - Completed

JUNE / JULY onwards …
Specialised ARDF training to meet IARU R3 ARDF Standards and Equipment.

Late October …
IARU R3 ARDF Championships in Thailand. Expect to lead a participating team to represent Malaysia for the 1st time?

Minor hunts, clinics and workshop will be slotted in from time to time.

Hope to hear from you soon and happy hunting!
