During a training event, the club station XU7AMO at the Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia is active for the first time in training mode via the geostationary amateur radio satellite QO-100 \/ Es’hail-2.<\/p>\n

XU7AMO QRV<\/h2>\n

From March 13 to 17, 2025, Mikio JA3GEP and Paulo F5VMJ will conduct radio communication training via amateur radio satellites at the Telecommunications Department of the Electronics Faculty of the National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia (NPIC) in Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In order to enable practical training, the Cambodian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) kindly granted the amateur radio club station XU7AMO an exemption to use higher frequencies and operate via amateur radio satellites for the first time. This is the first time that Cambodia will be activated with the prefix “XU” on the QO-100 satellite. <\/p>\n

Mikio and Paulo each brought a QO-100 amateur radio station, which they set up together with the students on the flat roof of the NPIC building. This gave the students the opportunity to gain practical experience of making contact via the QO-100 narrowband transponder. <\/p>\n

The training program includes both theoretical lectures and practical exercises. Here are some of the planned program items: <\/p>\n
