Biography

[Biography of my HAM Life]

I used to visit various parts of places in the oversea and domestic Japan through business. Peoples, cultures, landscape and histories in each place gave fantastic impression to my heart. That’s the reason why I re-opened Amateur Radio Station after 30 years QRT.



Starting in 1974 (era in my 1st grade of Junior high) at the north area of Japan (Aomori pref.), my rig was 50MHz transceiver (RJX-601) only and I had just a few chance to touch my friend’s expensive rig TS-520 as the HF transceiver. But I used to enjoy sporadic-E for domestic contact. My small radio station was closed in 1980, because the owner had to go (come) to Tokyo.



February 2010 was the anniversary date of re-opening as the above reason. Starting with ICOM IC-7600, I was active QRV'er in all bands all mode of HF and just a few chance to the V/U.



October 2010, I started working away from my family in Aichi prefecture because of company personnel promotion. But I thought this is the good chance to start mobile operation.

January 2011, I started mobile operation with ICOM IC-7000M in Aichi prefecture.



Now I am the active HAM station in both base and mobile station and hope to communicate many parts of all over the world and continue this king of hobby for my life.
