The South East Asia Amateur Radio Network (SEANET) was established in 1964 on 20m (14.320 MHz plus or minus QRM).

The objective of this Net is to promote international understanding and fellowship among hams and to relay emergency, medical, urgent or priority traffic.

This on-the-air meeting which has taken place without fail daily at 1200 UTC has strengthened unity and co-operation among Hams around the world, especially those within the region.

The net also provides Hams a facility for testing their equipment and propagation conditions on the 20m band.

Every Friday from 12.00UTC the net is controlled from Bangladesh by S21B.*

The CONVENTION:

The first convention or eyeball QSO of SEAnet took place on the island of Penang, Malaysia, in December 1971 when about 30 amateurs met. Present at that historic meeting were the first Net Controller Paddy Gunasekera 4S7PB of Sri Lanka and stalwarts ‘Big John’ van Leader 9M2IR, 9V1OQ, HS1AIR, Ebbey Lucas 9V1QG of Singapore arid Eshee Razak 9M2FK of Malaysia.

This year convention will be hosted by Borneo Amateur Radio Club, Sabah, Malaysia. It will be held from 20th to 24th November 2008 in Kota Kinabalu and Kudat. Check http://www.sabah.net.my/seanet for more info.
