Biography

I started BCL when I was 13 years old in 1975. I liked to make a vacuum tube radio when I began CB radio at the same time.
I was licensed Amateur Radio in 1977 but after 5 years my family & me moved & removed all the antennas so I had to QRT, I decided on a whim to keep on Amateur Radio as my hobby, afterwards I turned for other hobbies like surfing, Computer things etc.. It seems like something fun to try at the time and I didn't think too much of it. Amateur Radio has become very important to me over the last 2 years as I have purchased much better equipment since I "gave" them all away in 1993 so I packed them in saying I would never return.

BUT I DID!!
After QRT for about 40 years, I started again in 2016, because of taking upper grade license & building a tower and antennas at my home which I wanted from old days. It is a long time if I remember it, I am grateful for accepting myself in this Amateur Radio World like the old days.

I will be on 3.5, 7, 14, 21, 28, 144 and 430Mhz SSB CW FM, D-star and C4FM. Now I am interested in HIFISSB and SDR.

I started FT8 at my office. I got 40mH DP(Nagara TV-416J) with Yaesu FT-991A. But different address.It is located in the center of Kyoto-city.

Thank you.
