Atsu,?
When I was an R/O at sea, di di di dah dit meant "wait a second". It's a bit like the spoken meaningless word "er" which fills in gaps of conversation. It meant a shorter wait than di dah di di dit.,? or "wait a minute". Shore radio station operators? would use di di di dah dit when reaching for a printed message with their free hand, for example. Hams seem to use it as "understood", which is a different meaning.

GM, Tom-san.

If CONDX allows, Japan’s 6-9AM on every Saturday (Friday 21:00Z-24:00Z) at A1C OAM period is the best timing to find many JA stations at A1-Chat.

So you can post to get attentions from the stations of your preferable prefectures.

I know it’s not the best CONDX period between JA & Germany, but at least many JA are awake at once and they will be interested in listening on the FREQ where you CQ.

// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Hello again,
This is the present list of the Prefectures already confirmed at DF7TV in CW.

Future updated versions will be available at:



Thank you! to all who already helped to get some band slots filled for the KCJ-A award.

TOM-san,

Don’t know why, but I couldn’t fall asleep last nite so I beamed to EU and called CQ.

No taker for a while but around my 1:20AM calls started from England, Italy, Germany and more, lasted for 30min or so.

Then, I was able to sleep well. hihi

Yes, let us try on some other bands, too. My QSL via DK0SU thru BURO for sure.

Have a good day, TOM-san.

73,
// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Hello Hiro san,

Thank you for our second QSO on a new band!
I was very happy to see you spotted in Europe and so we could make it on 17m this time.
Now that we have 10m and 17m, I hope to get you on 12m, 15m and 20m soon.

Conditions to Japan from 09:00 UTC to 13:00 UTC were very bad here today,

The QSL card of DK0SU via bureau is already in the "OUT-Box".

Good to know your QRV today, Tom-san.

I am having GB, Giving Back QRV from 10:00Z (19:00JST) so will be at A1-Chat.

Let us try some high bands if CONDX allows.

Suppose you are also a SKCC member, so please get ready with your mechanical key and exchange SKCC NR.

Me, just a few to go to “C”. :)
