I can not remember things happend in May and June. I will merely write QSOs in recent days...
1st May
It was within a "Golden Week", holiday season in Japan, I was not asleep at night and work some QSO...
Propagation of 20m was good through a night time in JA, I could work with UQ50P at 1505Z, UQ50L at 1546Z, M0UNN at 1849Z, LZ855SRKM at 1927Z, K4PB at 1947Z, SV5PFC at 2021Z, LZ2011KM at 2035Z, all on CW.
2nd May
In a daytime, 6m was good for pacific. I worked with VK4MA at 0646Z on CW, and 9M6XRO at 0935Z on SSB.
5th May
I heard high band in daytime, I worked with JT1KAA at 0616Z on 17m CW, RP66D at 0641Z on 15m CW. At night, I worked some on 17m CW, LZ11RF at 1325Z, RP66O at 1400Z, LZ66P at 1430Z, GR3TXF at 1556Z. GR is a special prefix for a royal wedding. I was late for this night, working on 20m CW with EX2A at 1848Z, PA1CC at 1550Z. It was not good for my health...
6th May
I worked with 10m CW at evening in JA, V85/9M6XRO at 0809Z, 9M2ZAK at 0812Z, JD1BLY at 0815Z.
7th May
I only worked with BV100 at 0532Z on 12m CW. I stay in home special holiday due to a lack of parts in our factory by devastating quake in east Japan... It was a dull holiday for me...
13th May
I do not care "Friday 13th" because I am a Buddist...hi.
I came home earlier than usual because it was a Friday. I worked with LY9Y at 1132Z on 15m CW.
20th May
I came home earlier than usual because it was a Friday. I worked with LA8IG Knut at 1141Z on 17m CW, even his equipment is 100W and Windom, we can work good QSO each other.(here 50W and HB9CV)
25th May
I went for a business trip and came home very earlier than usual, and wife did not come home yet, I enjoyed radio. Sporadic E was good on 6m so I can work with RN0JJ Eugene at 1015Z on SSB. But no one was heard on 6m... Then I was calling CQ on 15m for Eu, many station called me. UA4AMT Alex at 1023Z, RX6LCQ Mike at 1035Z, LY2PZ Gene at 1043Z, UA9MHN Alex at 1053Z, UY3QT Alex at 1101Z, UA4PNT Leo at 1104Z, UA1HY Yuri at 1107Z. At first, I have exchanged not only name and report but equipment and weather, but little pileup has occurred in a way of these QSOs, finally I have exchanged only name and report... It was a very good propagation day because some of these stations used 100-200W and dipole and I used 50W and 4el tribander. At last calling breaks so I was QSY to 20m and calling VP5/W5CW, up on DX cluster, I can easily work with him at 1125Z on CW. QSO in a workday was good !! Then I went to 17m and worked with LA6KOA Tor at 1134Z on SSB. It was a really good day because even I could work Eu station with SSB ! Finally I found OA1F on DX cluster and worked at 1146Z on 30m.
29th May
It was a day of WPX CW but I worked with only 7QSOs. I was very tired on this weekend...
5th June
Sunday afternoon, sporadic E was good. I could work with BD4CZX Zhu at 0322Z on 6m SSB. After that, P29CW at 0337Z and 8N6KR8AA at 0347Z on 12m CW. I returned 6m and worked with JA6WFM Hiro at 0353Z.
10th June
I came home earlier than usual because it was Friday. Sporadic E was good. I could work on 6m with JS6RLV Kura at 1002Z on CW and BV100 at 1015Z on SSB. After that, 9M2/KM9D at 1037Z on 20m CW.
11th June
I woke up morning on Saturday, usually I could not wake up because of I was so tired... I worked with YB0AKM Kazuo at 0045Z on 12m CW. I did not recognize that he is Japanese till I have exchanged our name. After that, 8N650HAM at 0059Z on 12m CW.
I was not asleep and worked YP1WFF at 1615Z on 17m CW, 8J1RL at 1752Z, 6M0V/5 at 1916Z, 9M2/KM9D at 1920Z all on 30m. After that, CX7CO at 1951Z on 20m CW, UT8IA at 2006Z on 30m. Finally, 8J400MK/4 at 2032Z on 40m SSB. I was crazy at this night...why I was not asleep till morning...
12th June
I bought TS590S at Osu, Nagoya. It was a new rig since I bought JST245 at 1994. So I used TS590S for DXing and FT817 for domestic QSO since then.
I worked with RA4HMT/4 Andy at 1601Z on 20m CW.
14th June
I worked with ES1TU Adu at 1557Z on 20m CW.
17th June
It was Friday, I came home early. I called W1ESE at 1222Z on 40m CW.
18th-19th June
AA CW. I attended all band low power and result was 183QSO, 442Points, and 73Multi. I could not be called by CQ TEST while I could have returned for my call. Propagation was in limbo these days...
26th June
I called CX7CO Carlos at 1449Z on 12m CW, because I think he was band new... but it was not...
3rd July
Day of Japanese domestic contest (6m&Down), I attended 6m singleband CW. The result was 76QSO and 29multi... that was about half score of last year...
After a contest, I solder up a harness of a microphone connector for Kenwood TS590S, then I called very strong YC8AHH at 0901Z on 15m SSB. It was good anyway. After that, I called SM1TDE Eric at 1040Z on 17m CW. Just after I changed into 20m, I found CQ of 8J1RL and QSO at 1044Z on CW. I have posted it on DX cluster then heavy pile up for him... Then I found BV100 good signal on SSB and call him at1057Z with FT817 5W, I could returned my call from him easily with 4el tribander. I also called 6M23 at 1358Z on 40m CW, I do not know what is this call in Korea? Finally I called JW/DG5NFF on 20m SSB and could get back my call at 1406Z. I wonder how he can pick up my weak signal, 50W SSB...
