Morse Tree

I made a Morse Codes Table and a Morse Tree which can be used for both International Morse and Japanese Morse.

Here your are !

As you see, Japanese Morse Code has almost double number of characters than for International Morse Code. Until 1996, we had to master both of them to get the 1st Class Amateur Radio Operator license.
In October, 2011, the Morse Code proficiency has completely deleted from the requirement of all sorts of amateur radio operators license. 

Looking for Spring Colors

Today We have been Jindaiji Botanical Park.

There are so many kind of Sakura Cherry Trees.

Some are almost finisghed some are full bloom and some are still before blooming.

We enjoyed not only Cherry Blossoms but also other spring flowers and blossoms with tasty homemade lunch box :-)

 

 

Emergency Roll Call Practice

Time flies. 2 years have been passed after the tragedy on 11th March, 2011.
The Great East Japan Earthquake is the worst largest disaster in Japan after the WW II. 15,881 people were killed, 2668 people are still missing.
The number of victims including related death counts over 20,000.
Two years ago, severe shock hit us at 14:46JST. I was in a meeting at the 21st floor of company office in Kawasaki city. The building was swaying heavily from side to side. We all had been clinging to the desk until the swaying comes calm. Few minutes after the first shock we got second shock which is same level of the first one. At that time, I thought this building might be collapsed and we are all going to die. As such, I felt the fear of death.

After two years passed, reconstruction of damaged cities and towns are still far away from expectation and also the crippled nuclear power plant in Fukushima is still in critical situation.

In order to keep these things in our mind and to prepare for the emergency

time, A1 Club has started the Emergency Roll Call (EMG-RC) practice since last year.

Yesterday from 10AM, the 4th EMG-RC was held on 7005KHz mode CW using international Morsecode.

A1 Club headquarter station JO1ZZZ controlled the roll-call.

The condition of participants is simple. They must use portable power source instead of commercial AC mains power.

So, some use car battery, some use engine generator, some other use just cell batteries, etc.

And many of them worked from outdoor using simple wire antenna, mobile whip, etc.

We remind with each other that it is always important to prepare for emergency time.

Here are the participants list on 2013-3-10 A1C EMG-RC;
