Well that’s either a free entry or all YLs are considered to be highly accomplished CW operators! :slight_smile:

Anyway looks good, have a great show Toru san.

I wonder if there will be any new radio announcements from the “Big Three” in Japan? Let’s see…

I would expect ICOM to release their IC9700 2m/70cm/23cm SDR rig and perhaps Yaesu will have an operational FTDX101D and Kenwood may officially release their TS890S for sale both of these have been shown non-operational at Dayton & Friedrichshafen.

I look forward to hear what else is new at the world largest ham radio event.

Well the IC-9700 has now arrived in the UK (in small numbers) - all being well mine should arrive on Tuesday in time for this month 2m UKAC. If the WX is not too bad I will be /P near to Cleeve Hill G/CE-001 (but not in a manner that counts for SOTA).
