[Dx-qsl] JAPAN DXers Banquet on Aug. 23

[Alan Zack]

Hello Yutaka,

I will be arriving in Tokyo on July 30 staying at the New Sanno Hotel 
(http://www.thenewsanno.com/).  I am hoping to visit JARL Headquarters 
and maybe meet some local hams.  I had thought about purchasing a new 
Icom-756 Pro III while I was there but was told I would not be able to 
find the U.S.A. export model on the local market so my purchase was not 
recommended.

I have not been to Tokyo since the late 1970's.  During the 1970's I was 
the radio operator/navigator on the U.S. Coast Guard C-130 Hercules 
aircraft that flew supplies to Iwo Jima, Marcus, Palau, Yap, Ulithi, and 
many other Pacific Islands where the U.S. Coast Guard operated the LORAN 
C Stations.  I am fully retired now so looking forward to a non working 
trip.

Nice web site.  I like your log cabin at Mt Fuji.

73, Alan, K7ACZ
