My name is MASSY for short for Masafumi. I have been a ham radio operator for 40 years since 1969 as JA6NKA and am also JA1LNB/6.

My daughter KAHO became a ham operator as JA6QGW when she was 5 years old - kindergarten in September 2003 (and 11-yrs-old now).

And also my son KOSUKE (please refer to above site to see our memorial QSL card of his being 100-days-old baby) became a ham operator as JA6OYG when he was 7 years old in March 2003 (and 13-yrs-old now).

My XYL became JA6REP (formerly JP6CSS just after our marriage). So my entire family members are hams now (please refer to our pictures at Icom's above site.

We also love HF (please enjoy some pictures from above Yaesu-Museum site), EchoLink (4601 JA6NKA-R & -L), eQSO (Kagoshima JA6NKA-R), WiRES #5625D, Phone-Patch traffics etc. through JP6YHK Kagoshima Repeater (439.920MHz -5MHz 88.5Hz 10W) and also CQ100.

Moreover, my APRS (JA6NKA-7, -9 and Weather) Stations are also always active. I recently wrote the series of articles on Japanese CQ Hamradio magazine (January - May 2007 editions for 5 months and the October 2007 edition) about APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System).

I gave a rectuer/seminar on "Let's start APRS" at CQ ham radio booth in Tokyo Hamfair 2007 on August (shown as a above picture). And this summer, do please come and visit at our "J-net corner" collaborationg with/in KENWOOD booth at Hamfair 2008 and "APRS J-net", where I will issue APRS software Registration Numbers and demonstrate on real time "APRS+VoIP" activities during 8/23-24.

Please refer to our J-net APRS site above for details. We started APRS Server as "T2J-net", so everyone is always welcome to use it. We look forwards to seeing you on APRS and/or VoIP in the very near future.
