A lot work and control to run such a station. Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.
On QRZ.COM I read KAZU-san running WWR And (Carbon Fishing Rod fed by ATU), this seems to be popular ANT in Japan (e.g. POTA). But do not see it in Germany as people concerned as of conductivity (like a resistor), people use Fiberglass mast to pull-up wires. Any experience?
Have plans to operate JJ1QPB this summer again (Tokyo Ham Fair if possible) and wonder AH-705 tuner and carbon fiber could be an effective solution to carry).

Re: Fw: [A1CLUB] CW Greetings
Hi Carole
Of course Japanese hams will understand these, but what I meant
is little things like I use with e.g. French ops like "BJR"
instead of "GD" or "AWDH" instead of "CU" with German ops.
I see in the other comments "OHA", but since ohayou is good
morning, it can't be used as a general "hello". "yo" is an
informal way to say hello, but as Atsu-san says, this might be
considered rude by older ops who are accostumed? to formal
greetings with strangers.
So I guess there is no real way to do this in non-Wabun given
that there are no shortcuts and the formal/informal complexities
of a greeting.

Re: Fw: [A1CLUB] CW Greetings
Hi Guys & Gals Enjoyed interesting discussions (^^ As Carol-san mentioned, most JA hams surprise when DX station send Japanese in ROMAJI (alphabet) since they(we) are not familiar with decoding Japanese expressed by ROMAJI. And as Thomas-san said, there is Jpanaese Morse Code (WABUN). Most JA hams learn and use WABUN Morse Code when they want to converse in Japanaese language. ? I learnt WABUN code when I was 17 (45 years ago) to get 1st class ham license. (Both International Morsecode and Wabun Morse Code proficiency were requested at that days) As Izumi-san, OHA is nice way to shorten OHAYOU which everyone can understand, but sometimes rude for eldery person. In this case, OHAYOU GOZAIMASU is better ? It becomes too long and too complicated hihi. CU ON? THE BANDS! 73+88 Atsu JE1TRV/JS2AHG(remote)

Re: Fw: [A1CLUB] CW Greetings
Dear Carole, my observation operating JJ1QPB: is yes, Japanese use (almost) all international abbreviations if they operate using International Morse. There is Japanese Morse code (Wabun:?.)?
This might be used for real Japanese exchange, but I can't read Wabun :-). Most traffic I observed was international morse to my luck.?
There are some special case like QTH is given as JCC code number. I suspect as real Japanese Names in Alphabe are just too long. Names are given in alphabet very frequent in a short CW-form. ? I personally use greetings like ARIGATOU etc. when operating DX from DJ1TF calling Japanese stations or when Japanese operator recognize my long German name THOMAS (not when using only TOM) OR I asked to send QSL Card with JJ1QPB to the German Office Via DJ1TF HI HI. So when I get recognized as gaijin (foreigner) I tend to use more greetings.
BEST 73 DE DJ1TF / JJ1QPB - Thomas (TOM) PS: I only run wire antenna typical QRP (30W for DX). To exercise listen to Japanese morse I use Kiwi-SDR's OR if time zone does not fit, I listen to recordings of Japanese morse operators on Youtube.? Am Mi., 10.

Dear Isumi-san, HI HI well can not argue on Chinese Character so much Hi HI.? Indeed 今日は can be spoken きょうは (Today is) like in sentence: 今日は何日ですか。(What days is todays day). But it must have also (maybe obscure) pronunciation こんにちは (Good Afternoon / Guten Tag). This is because? - I use Japanese Input method typed こんにちは
- Online dictionary? -->
- I needed to study for Kanji Kentei (漢字検定). HI HI
Absolute possible こんいちは it's very rare written using kanji. I believe the hiragana こんにちは?is by far more used. It's just we Germans been so proud to finally find Kanji in the Japanese IME that we know that we love to take it.? 有難う！(or Japanese better write: ありがとう! (arigatou = thank you)
BEST 73 DE DJ1TF - JJ1QPB - Thomas
Dear Tomas, I learnt Japanese before and I think GA(good afternoon) should be = KONNICHIWA but not 今日は(pronounced KYOWA) should be こんにちは
Anyway, I think OHAYOU should be the correct one for International Morse which remains the original pronunciation(but I usually use OHA for standing GM in Japanese)

Congrats Günter ! --
I never worked so many stations from Japan within such a short period of time.
Apart from VOACAP for propagation forecast, there is a nice tool to find out the license data of JA call signs.
Perhaps it is useful to you or other "hunters" of JA stations
JJ1WTL'S LICENSE DATA SEARCH:
It seems that the license data is updated once a year (August) and the data base (.csv) may be downloaded
for offline use.

Hallo Hiro,
in the period from 29th Mar 2024 until 31th Mar 2024 i made 224 QSOs with
stations from JA-Land, that is great.
A lot of station was very taff too read, because the signals was very very
weak, partly 119 report only with a lot of callsign-reququests of my side.
But, that is no problem for my. Its for my a regular challenge, pick up the
weakest signals. Loud signals read can everybody.
My QRV-plan was very simple:
After sunraise in DL i have used my antennas for 20 m and 15 m to direction
JA.
Mostly am i startet on 20 m for a short period. After them i made QSY for a
long period on 15 m, because on 15 m i can expecting more stations from
JA-land.
In JA land you have a lot licenses until 50 W-limit on 15 m.!
After the signals on 15 m are going down, i have don QSY on 20 m.
The first JA signals on 40 m was here between 18:45 and 19:25 UTC until 20:45
and 21:30 UTC
On 20 m i have used a 3 El-Beam abt 20 m up fixed direction JA and 2 x 3 El.
Beam abt 34 and 31 m up fixed direction USA
On 15 m i have used a 4 El-Beam abt 23 m up fixed direction JA and 2 x 4 El.
Beam abt 37 and 34 m up fixed direction USA
Additional i can use a rotable 3 El.- Beam on 20 m 20 m up and 4 El.Beam on 15
m 20 m up.
On 40 m i have used a 2 El.-Beam abt 20 m up fixed direction JA.
I can on 40 m also use a 2 El- Beam abt 40 m up fixed direction USA.
For all other directions i have a rotable Beam 40 m 20 m up.
A little problem was for me 10 m.?
The rotable 10 m beam doesnt work, somthing defect.
But, i have tryed too use a simple dipol about 12 m up.

For each band i have used a separate powerful PA and Computer workplace (all
computers ale in one network).
I can switch on and off each antenna separate and in combination.?
So is it possible pick up the weakest signals, when i switch off antennas from
other directions with noise only.
Important for this game is, that the DX station rhythmic send the own call
with short breaks for listening.
