Hello,

My name is Oba. I have been a ham since 1972. I am interested in Internet-assisted communication, such as EchoLink, Wires-II, Wires-X, and APRS.

QTH

QTH is Sendai city, located 300km north of Tokyo. I like my QTH very much. Just one complaint - we have many earthquakes.

Sendai city is famous for Samurai Masamune Date

Rig and antenna

I have been using the 'legacy' 4 element SteppIR for more than 10 years. It's installed on the top of a motor-driven crank-up tower. Working just great.

Diamond X520M 144/430MHz dual-band GP is mounted on the top of the tower. It is used for the EchoLink and Wires-X nodes.

EchoLink node

144.52MHz / TSQL77Hz

Wires-X node

430.90MHz / C4FM Digital

Hot spot

In February 2017, I set up openSPOT and started using D-STAR and C4FM reflectors.

See you on the air and reflectors.
