radio station to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the reversion from June
10th through August 31st this year. This radio station is the club station
and is employed including many newcomers who are from among of 2400
residents of Ogasawara Islands. For this purpose, we trained the people of
the village for purposes of allowing them to obtain the license. The same
call sign "JD1YAB" as the JARL commemorative station of reversion employed
34 years ago, i.e., one year after return, is used for this radio station

the world via the bureau automatically without your QSL request. Also if you
want it directly, it will be issued by the QSL manager, JA1MRM. Send SAE
