Biography

I am a member of JARL and 100% QSL.

I received the JARL VU-10,000 AWARD in December 2005 Of the 141 stations to get this award, I am the first person to get this award (10,000 confirmed QSLs) using 144MHz FM only and probably the last! Ha!

I am now going for the JCA AWARD. I am trying to get a card from each of the 18,000+ different suffixes. This challenge is a lot of fun and I appreciate all the support and encouragement from my ham friends worldwide!

I am the only remaining 7J7 prefix in Japan. Hope to meet you in the air or at the JARL HAM FAIR IN TOKYO!

You will see I snowboard with my handy at all times just in case of emergency! 73

PS: With the bands now open I am making 1000s of QSOs. If I do not initiate asking you for a card for the award and you would like my card direct, a green stamp or IRC would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
