Re: RandomGram UTC June 23-24

 

Tom-san,

Yes, the CONDX is getting better for sure and 10W and dipole will reach to the EU sooner.

HPE the RandomGram will be a good opportunity for JA guys to talk to you and others in DX counties.

CU SN, Tom-san.

Re: RandomGram UTC June 23-24

 

Thank you Hiro-san!

Well... I will be logged into SKCC-Sked and A1-Chat during the event --
Depending upon the activity, I may not answer requests in the chats instantly -- but they will be read and I'll be glad to contact JA-stations.

It's nice to see more and more stations from Japan being copied in Europe with only 50 Watts or less and simple dipole antennas on the higher bands.

This situation reminds me to when I started with hamradio around 1980 -- using a homemade crystal-controlled CW transmitter with 10 Watts and a dipole on 10m and having my first QSO to Japan. For sure I have been very proud :)

Re: RandomGram UTC June 23-24

 

Tom-san,

TNX for our last Q as JO1ZZZ/1, A1CLUB official club station, with only 50W. :)

I tried to hear you on last RandomGram, but your SIG was faint and I had no confidence to copy the RG NR. hi

Since I¡¯m trying to invite more JA stations to RG, I¡¯ll QRV on 40m mostly which JA can easily find each other.

But I¡¯ll QSY to high bands occasionally to see if I can hear from EU and US. So PSE QRG at A1-Chat or SKCC SkedPage if possible.

CUL. 73,

Re: RandomGram UTC June 23-24

 

Thank you for the info Hiro!

The first RandomGram event has been big fun and I will be QRV for the second one as well.

I will be using a Straight Key (Junker M.T.) and count for that team.


Well -- I just got 100 random groups to be sent and I hope to meet a lot of hams from Japan to be present in the second event

Re: QRS MST

 

Bill-san,

You are right. Also QRS keying sound brings me comfortably falling asleep. hi

Hope to see you next Monday, Bill-san.

Re: QRS MST

 

I love the idea of MST but often I fall asleep before it starts. 40m should be nice at that time.


QRS MST

 

Dear A1CLUB members,

We've been promoting QRS AWT - Slow A1CLUB Weekly Test around 7.035 on every Wendsday at 12:00Z-13:00Z.

It seems that QRS contesting is effective for CW beginners and so we'll add our QRS acrtivity to ICWC MST - Medium Speed Test on every Monday at 13:00Z-14:00Z.



I have already talked to ICWC and so no worry to be QRS on MST. hi

We'll be QRV around 7.035 at QRS 15-20WPM on MST or QRG at A1-Chat.

CU next Modday! 73,
// HIRO, JJ1FXF

Re: JA Contest Calendar

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Bill-san,

I also don¡¯t know always what local contests are on going in JA. hi

It is in Japanese but the most effective or good coverage JA contest calendar is the ¡°¹úÄÚ¥³¥ó¥Æ¥¹¥È¥«¥ì¥ó¥À©`¡±.


Also Giving Back program on 7.034-7.039 at 7PM JST every evening is FB opportunity for practice, I think.

You can send final after sending RST, QRH and OP NAME if further CW communication is yet a bit difficult to send and receive.

GL 73,

JA Contest Calendar

 

I am not much of a contest person, but I like to use them for practicing CW. Are there any JA contest calendars like this:


This isn't always accurate for JA contests. For example, they list the KANHAM Contest happening this weekend, but this year's contest happened in April according to the JARL site.



I often hear JA stations calling TEST, but I don't know what contest they are participating in. Is there a local listing website that keeps track of JA contests?


Re: ARRL Field day from Japan

 

GA, Bill-san.

Since I¡¯m not a contest maniac, I don¡¯t remember how the last FD was like.

But it should be FB in JA to hear many US stations in June, I suppose.

// HIRO, JJ1FXF


ARRL Field day from Japan

 

How much CW activity from the ARRL Field Day in the USA can be heard in Japan? I realize that it depends on a number of factors like antennas and band conditions, but I wondered if A1CLUB members have had success in the past.
