Hello from Japan.

I have been a radio amateur since 1983 and have mainly enjoyed CW.

I was active on 15m & 10m during 1980's and enjoyed DXing, contesting, QRPing and domestic AM QSO (but rarely). I used YAESU FT-757 and antennas were 5-band GP, 2-element Swiss Quad for 15m, and 2-element HB9CV for 10m.
Around 1990, my interests moved to packet radio and TCP/IP networking. I was active a little on 6m with an FT-690 during summer in mid 90's, and 12m with an FT-757 in late 90's.

I have enjoyed QRPing and kit building since 2001. I used an FT-817 at first and Elecraft rigs later. A small telescopic whip antenna is temporarily set because I have lived on first floor of a condo since 2000. Sometimes I also enjoy QRV on HF from a park bench as a portable opration. I like HF high bands but sometimes on 40m too.

My Rigs:
Elecraft KX1/Modified (80m to 20m)
Elecraft K1/Modifed (160m to 10m; a KFL1-2 specialized for 12m & 10m, and another one specialized for 160m)
Elecraft K2/Modified (160m to 10m)
Elecraft KX3 (160m to 6m)

My Favorite Bands: 17m, 15m, 12m & 10m
My Favorite Modes: CW
My Interests: HF, CW, AM, RTTY, QRP, EmComm, NVIS, kit building, etc.
