Biography

Dear "HAM",

I obtained my first license in Japan's northern Hokkaido in 1978 when I was a junior high school student.
In 1985, after graduating from college, I moved to Tokyo to work for a machinery manufacturing company.

From 1989 to 1991, I lived in the Republic of Zambia, and from 1992 to 1996, I lived in Germany for work. During my stay in Zambia, I operated 9J2HS.


Since 1997, I have been living in Atsugi City, Japan. I started operating as an amateur radio again in 2010, mainly using digital modes, such as FT8, JT65A, or JT9 on the HF bands.

Here are the details of my rig and antenna:

If you have not received a QSL card from 9J2HS yet, please send me an email.

All the best,

Hiro Suzuki
