Johore Royalty have contributed much to the advancement of Amateur activity in this country and many of us will remember 9M2JB Tunku Temenggong Ahmad who invited the entire Seanet Convention of 1973 held in Singapore to his QTH in Johore Bahru for lunch and give us an opportunity to see the Royal Palace.
9M2AT Tunku Mohd Archibold was President of Marts and took a leading role in the very successful Seanet Convention at Kuala Lumpur in 1975. This convention received much publicity in the mass media of radio and television. He also led expeditions to the islands on the east coast of 9M2 and operated maritime mobile with 9M0EXP CALL SIGN.
9M2TR Tunku Abdul Rahman has also been very active amateur.
