I have had multiple QSO contacts in the past.

These were on the 14 MHz and 18 MHz bands, using CW and DATA modes.

This time, I was able to get a confirmation using FT8 for the first time.

Many thanks JIM san 73`s

    This is a contact that should have been easy to make, yet it proved to be a struggle.

    My reception was excellent, but conditions on the other end were poor.

    It was incredibly frustrating; even though I was picked up several times, 

    the "RR73" confirmation never got through.

    Mindful of my recent failure, I persevered while keeping a close watch on the surrounding conditions.

    After spending nearly an hour on the attempt, the QSO was finally completed—almost anticlimactically.


    Willis Is. is New entity !!

    Many Thanks contact 73`s

                      Advantages of using VoIP for QSOs:

                    • Global Reach & Reliability (世界的な到達範囲と信頼性)
                      You can communicate with stations worldwide regardless of geographic obstacles or propagation conditions, ensuring stable and reliable connections.
                      (地理的な障害物や電波伝搬の状況に関係なく、世界中の局と通信でき、安定した信頼性の高い接続が保証されます。)
                    • Crystal-Clear Audio Quality (非常にクリアな音質)
                      Unlike traditional analog signals prone to noise and fading, VoIP provides clear, high-quality voice communication.
                      (ノイズやフェージングの影響を受けやすい従来のアナログ信号とは異なり、VoIPはクリアで高品質な音声通信を提供します。)
                    • Low Power & Minimal Equipment (低出力・最小限の設備)
                      You can enjoy worldwide QSO using a handheld transceiver with low output power, as long as you can access an internet-linked node or repeater.
                      (インターネットに接続されたノードやレピーターにアクセスできれば、低出力のハンディ機を使用して世界中のQSOを楽しむことができます。)
                    • Access for Beginners (初心者へのアクセシビリティ)
                      It bridges the distance easily, making international contacts much more accessible for beginners who may not have large antennas or high-power amplifiers.
                      (距離を簡単に縮めることができ、大型のアンテナや高出力アンプを持たない初心者でも、国際的な交信をはるかに容易にします。)
                    • Disaster Resilience (災害時の強靭性)
                      Because internet networks can bypass failed terrestrial propagation paths, VoIP systems are highly effective for emergency communications during disasters.
                      (インターネット網は途絶した地上伝搬経路を迂回できるため、災害時の非常通信にVoIPシステムは非常に有効です。)

                      afternoon of July 17 arrived



                      It has finally reached the authorities as well.


                      It is the largest-scale expedition in recent years, as well as the most successful one.

                      And this success is a truly magnificent achievement.


                      Amateur radio stations around the world were thrilled by that magnificent achievement.

                      Yes yes, even I managed to make a contact.

                      Thank you very much, DXpedition team.

                      VXD-450U(メーカー:旧スタンダード/バーテックススタンダード)は、デジタル65chとアナログ35chの計100chに対応したデュアルモードの登録局(免許局)簡易無線機です。現在は後継機への移行が進んでおり、主に中古市場で取引されています。VXD-450Uは、主に以下の特徴を持ったプロ仕様の無線機です:周波数帯: UHF帯(400MHz帯)通信出力: 5W / 1W(切り替え可能)通信距離: 市街地で約1km、見通しの良い場所で1〜4km(環境により変動)特長: デジタル波と従来のアナログ波の両方に対応し、高い堅牢性と防塵・防水性能(IP6X / IPX7相当)を備えています。【重要な注意点】本機にはアナログモード(35ch)が搭載されていますが、電波法改正に伴い、アナログ波(35ch)は2024年12月1日以降使用が禁止(停波)されています。そのため、現在運用する場合はデジタルモード(65ch)のみでの使用が必須となります。

                      Let's refrain from uploading until the queue stabilizes.



                      ARRL LoTW




                      July 15: ADIF files covering the period from the 14th through the early morning of the 15th are—for some reason—not being reflected on LoTW



                      Check my LoTW page







                      muuuuuu.......  7/14 to Now ???      not replay??



                      ARRL LoTW Status page



                      Wow!!  too much Queue


                      I uploaded the same data to ClubLog and eQSL, and those services updated without any issues.

                      Sensing something was amiss, I investigated and found that the processing queue was lagging and backed up, starting from the early hours of the 14th.

                      It appears a significant number of log entries are stuck in the queue; I have captured a snapshot of this situation.


                      We have confirmed that the queue is currently in a critical state due to certain issues.

                      Let's refrain from uploading until the queue stabilizes.
