9M8TThe destination
Pulau Talang-Talang Besar is the larger of the two Talang islands off Sematan in western Sarawak — the heart of Talang-Satang, the state's first marine national park and a nesting refuge for green and hawksbill turtles.
Access is controlled to protect the nesting beaches, which makes the island a genuinely rare one on the air. Under the callsign 9M8T, a team drawn from across Malaysia will put it out for IOTA OC-165, working 80 through 6 metres in SSB, CW and the FT digital modes, with a real-time CQ feed so chasers can see what's on where.
