Biography

My first QRV was on 6m’s AM when I was 14 years old (1970), since then I’ve been enjoying
Amateur Radio
leisurely (not so active) on HF and VHF. It seems more than half a century has passed befor
I know it.

After 2020, I 'm enjoying it almost every day on 30m to 10m and 6m band, mostly FT8 and CW.


I like CW very much, I used to work at coast radio station (JCS / Choshi radio) as a radio operator for a while,
and QSOs (by CW ) with many ship stations all over the world and Syowa station (JGX / Antarctica) .

And aslo I worked at Syowa station Antarctica as a radio operator and engineer twice
(1983-1985 and 2004-2006),
of course I enjoyed Ham Radio 8J1RL and 8J1RM (at Mizuho station) during the stay.
