[Moon] Meet with VE4MA

[M. Watanabe]

After Barry enjoyed 24G EME, he visits Japan on business.  
There held some small EME meetings in Tokyo and Kawasaki 
City, Sat. March 15.  
 
Yoshi JA6XKQ/1 and Mike JH1KRC visited Shinagawa Prince 
Hotel where Barry stays with his coleague Ian.  Then Barry 
received GS15B cavity, a home-brew of Hisao JA6XED, silver-
plated one.  

In Kawasaki City, next to Tokyo, Barry visited Creative Design 
Corporation, where JL1ZCG is located in the factory area of 
Kawasaki's heavy industries.   
The moon elevation was over 25 degrees, still it sounded noisy.  
The club crew sent CQ on 432, and JH0WJF and someone else? 
replied but they were not copied well.  

Barry enjoyed meeting with the young guys who mainly operate 
JL1ZCG after investigated the antennas ( 13x4-yagis for 2m, and 
27x12-yagis for 70cm) on the roof-top, and their kW amplifiers.  

Back in Tokyo with Mike, Barry visited Akihabara, a major 
electric market, and watched at several shops.  Barry made 
a purchase for some SMA connectors with the base of BNC-size 
and some high voltage capacitors for his TWTA PS.  

Barry's main business was held in Fukushima, JA7.  He liked to 
visit JA7BMB but had no time.  
Hiroshi JA7BMB stopped operation and finally disinstalled all of 
his hand-made fine dishes which were used for 23/13/6/3cm. 

Barry has a plan to have a bus tour inside Tokyo, and a one-
day trip to Kyoto, western Japan, before he leaves on March 18.
