Members of Station KTM at the Base Station trying to find an answer

Radio Station Gemilang members proved their excellence when they beat 6 other radio stations in an Inter-Station Radio Contest held at Tungku Beach which was organised by Holyfolks Radio Station. The event which involved finding clues and items from various checkpoints by communicating through two-way radios within a time limit received a good standout of 150 members from the Radio Amateur under the Auspices of the Brunei Darussalam Amateur Radio Association (BDARA).

The participants in the contest represented radio stations such as Gemilang, Holyfolks, KTM, Alif, Binjai, Sang Jati and G4.

Every station should have a Base Station at Tungku Beach, a Prime Vehicle and a Recovery Team. Questions were only distributed to Base Stations.

From these questions they were to instruct Prime Vehicle and Recovery Team to find the answers which were hidden along Brunei-Muara District and Tutong District by using a 4-Wheel Drive.

The event was organised to foster harmony among members of the Radio Amateur, to educate members in creating an operation centre and communication which is effective, team building, decision making as well as time management.
