Re: Meaning of di-di-di-dah-di

John Davies
 

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.

Re: My "most wanted" Japanese Prefectures // SKEDs offered

 

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.

Re: QRV Info - DF7TV May 4, 2022 (General calling Japan, AWT and CWT)

 

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.

Re: QRV Info - DF7TV May 4, 2022 (General calling Japan, AWT and CWT)

 

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".

Thank you again Hiro-san,

Glad to see the number of members is increasing.
I hope to work new members of the A1CLUB in CW soon.

Re: ARRL News Letter

 

Hi, Tom-san.

TNX for the QSO. My JCC NR is 1230, just in case. :)

Yes, I saw your call sign at the 3830scores. A1CLUB is really expanding with more CW activities lately and that causes increasing more members, too.

I look forward to working you at AWT.

Have a good day, Tom-san.

Re: ARRL News Letter

 

Hello Hiro san,

Nice to see that ARRL informed about the AWT.

This week I participated the first time in AWT.
The user-defined-contest module for N1MM Logger+ worked excellent.

Well -- only three QSOs this time, but at least one station from Japan -- JA1ERB/Tosy san.
He was not in the contest but I informed him that I am in a contest and added the QSO :)
And we had a short chat -- not usual for contests -- but very nice.

The X7 beam has been turned to Japan all the time, but most probably I would have made more QSOs if it was directed to the USA :)
I heard JN1THL/ Ken san calling for AWT, but I think his antenna has been turned straight to California and so he could not copy me.

The 15 to 10m bands seem to become increasingly good for Japan-Europe contacts.

Tom

(BTW: Thank you for our first CW QSO on 10m; It will be added to my KCJ award application, as soon as confirmed.)


ARRL News Letter

 

Have you read the latest ARRL News Letter issued on April 28?

It says about AWT, just a single line to tell about its schedule. But I was really surprised that ARRL knew about AWT.

AWT has some scores posted to 3830scores.com from overseas stations for which thank you very much.

Also ICWC, International CW Council is presenting another weekly CW contest, MST from May 2nd.
