Thanks for checking my QRZ site.I live in Tokiwadai Japan, a small town in the mountains of northwest Osaka.

My rigs for D-STAR are an ID-1 for 1.2Ghz to a 60 element dual beam stacked Yagi and an ID-92 for 430 to a 10 element Diamond Yagi, mounted on a 5 foot "roof tower". I can access 4 repeaters now, the farthest being Aritagawa repeater about 105 km south of me in Wakayama prefecture. My HF antenna is Diamond CP-6 , 80 - 6 meter vertical.

ID-31, ID-92 and ID-1 for D-Star, IC-703+ and IC-7200 for HF and 6 meters, an IC-245 for 2 meter SSB, IC-502A for portable 6 meters.

Below is a picture of my Nagara 7 element 6 meter antenna, my new Create Design 2X1230 stacked 30 element x 2 Yagi for 1200 MHz and my CP-6 vertical for HF/6. Also a 10 element 430 and 10 element 2 meter Yagi.

I have become more and more interested in the DD mode, exchanging messages and pictures. I would like to try the DD mode with an overseas ham. Please let me know if you are interested in giving it a try.

ID-92 and ID-1 for D-Star, IC-703+ and IC-7200 for HF and 6 meters, an IC-245 for 2 meter SSB, IC-502A for portable 6 meters. 

I have three roof towers now, and rotators on two of them. I will be doing some testing on more D-Star repeaters as well as HF propagation. I really enjoy the challenges of QRP.

Began studying CW and hope to be able to work that mode in a few months.

Give me a call, or please reply if you hear me on the air. I'd be glad to chat with you.

The best way to contact JA stations is to program their call sign in your UR field when you hear them.

My main repeater is JP3YCV, node "B" (1.2 GHz here in Japan) or node "A", ( 430MHz here), or JP3YHJ B.

So, program your UR field with: /JP3YCVJB for the best chance to get me at home on my ID-1, or /JP3YHJA as a second choice. I will be on "A" when I am traveling around the local area with my ID-92.

This house has enough space to let me engage, on a small scale, in another hobby, growing vegetables.

I also want to do more QRP operation, taking my equipment to remote locations on my 90cc Honda Super Cub, "Taro".
