Applying for a Japanese guest license

For those of you who want to do some SOTA while holidaying in a Japan, not living in a country which has reciprocal licensing with Japan, I have written a short article about my quest to get a license.

tldr: it took 3.5 months and my call is JL1EFV

Martin, very nice summary. I leave for Japan in a few days and will be doing SOTA there as JJ0WVW. Hope to meet you on the air. I will be in Japan until the end of March.

Hi Paul We might meet. My first activations are planned for the 20th and the 21st, depending on how travels go. Not planning on making a stop to work other SOTA because of the miles we have to cover every day, but maybe during a lunch break that would be possible.
