My ham radio station.

I've got my radio and antenna set up now. My antenna is a 140-foot Zepp flattop fed with 300-ohm ladderline.

My first contact was with Wally, YI9HZR. It was funny because he's located on Taji, too!

Most of my QSO's (contacts) come from Europe. I haven't heard a peep from the states yet. Hopefully conditions will be better in the summertime.

I have a lot of noise interference due to the sad shape of the power grid here. So, I stick mostly to CW (morse code) for a majority of time.
