Three DX Contests participation

I participated in three DX contests—KCJ Contest organized by Keymen’s Club of Japan, RDA Contest organized by the Russian League, and SARTG WW RTTY Contest--for the first time since I returned home from the disaster area for the reconstruction work.

As to KCJ Contest, I finished in total 9 QSOs because of the trouble of CW sending machine in the Ctestwin. The frequency for transmission often drifted when I sent CW with using Ctestwin. I don’t know why such trouble happened. Maybe I guess there is something bug in this Japanese log soft.

As to RDA Contest, I had totally 35 QSOs with only Russian Stations. Though QSO objects are only Russian stations for the foreign entrants, we can enjoy all the time because Russian participants are many endlessly.

Then in the SARTG WW RTTY Contest I had totally 37 QSOs. I participated contests in the first stage(0000-0800z on Saturday) and the third stage(0800-1600z on Sunday). I got multipliers of JA and AS in the first stage and ones of EU in the third stage.

I used for these contests for the first time the 7m wire antenna supported by fishing rod and adjusted by ATU which was built on the balcony. My home antenna became simpler because the space of balcony is very small.
I tried the possibility of DX QSO with antenna adjusted by ATU. I could have QSOs with many EU stations on the mode of CW and RTTY. I had less trouble during the RTTY operation. I realized this facility is very useful for the limited space.

I’ll participate the next contests—Russian RTTY and All Asian Phone on the first week of September.

I finished recontruction work....

I finished reconstruction work in Otsuchi Town, Iwate Pref., which was attacked by the earthquake and the following Tsunami and then was destroyed wholly on March 11. Now I returned to my original work place in Osaka.

I was engaged in the reconstruction of the resident registration system in the temporary town office. My work was too hard and I worked till late night every day. But It’s very wonderful and precious chance for me.

I apologize for not renewing my diary because I had no time for my main business.
Now I compile my report on the work in the disaster area. I never fail to issue it on my website.
