The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake

At 0546UTC on March 11,2011....... It bacame the day which is never forgettable for all Japanese people......."The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake" attacked the northern Japan...

Today already five days have passed, but the number of victims and missing persons is adding day by day. We cannot forget the tragedic scene in which Tsunami attacked small towns in the Pacific coast.

This earthquake not only destroyed small towns, but also caused confusion even in metropolitan area.

Fortunately, JA3 area and westward are no problem, no damages. I lead peaceful daily life now!!
But I'm worried about the tragedic situation in the areas stricken by disaster. i pray for the victims of a series of disasters and the earlier reconstruction!!

OPEN UKRAINE RTTY CHAMPIONSHIP Participation

I participated OPEN UKRAINE RTTY CHAMPIONSHIP on 6 March.

I operated at home in Amagasaki City, Japan. I joined contest of the latter half--HIgh Band Category--in the evening time of our local time.

My individual result was total 13 QSOs. Condx was very good. I enjoyed QSO with YU and ZC4 stations. I had the opportunities of QSO with several UR stations.

I tried to use newly installed 5M Contest, Ukrainian log-making soft. But I couldn't use it because I wasn't accustomed to it and technical trouble often happened. I must be used to this soft and I'd like to use without any problems in the coming contests.

TNX FR FB QSO!!

ARRL International DX Contest Phone Participation

I participated ARRL International DX Contest between 5 and 6 March.

I operated at home in Amagasaki City, Hyogo, Japan. My individual result was total 4 QSOs--all W stations. Because the 8-story building in which I live block the direction in NA, it was very hard to have QSOs with NA stations. I forcused on OPEN UKRAINE RTTY CHAMPIONSHIP which took place at the same time.

TNX FR FB QSO!!
