My US call is KD2AFE and you can see my logbook under it including my JG1XMV QSOs.

Thank you to my Elmers: Dan, 7J1ABD / WA6URY and Dick 7J1BBC / KD6AZN.

I am currently mostly doing PSK31 on 15m and learning to use D-STAR but the compatibility issues between G1 in Japan and the G2 network can make for some interesting challenges. I also use Echolink to contact some stations back home in France.

I am not Japanese, soslowly when you speak Japanese to me please. I'll be happy to do QSOs in french and english but Japanese is my weakest link by far. Makes life interesting asJapanese stationsstart talking to me in Japanese really fast as soon as they hear my call sign :-).

I have done a few paper QSL card, I use mostly eqsl.cc and some LOTW but will make the effort if somebody requests a QSL card from me. All the QSL cards I receive, I reply to, just be a little bit patient.

My antenna is made of bits & pieces of a buddistick+buddipole with a long flexible whip at the end which I just stick out the window. My QTH is really bad as I am buffeted by tall buildings to the North and have tons of electric lines nearby. I can hear pretty good for signals coming from the SW-SE but other than that it is a struggle.

I have a website here: http://www.japanpeuf.com/

I enjoy the outdoors in general.
