Yes, it's quite an interesting hobby. ITU region 2 (basically the western hemisphere) just had a fun event this last weekend, called field day. It runs for 24 hours starting at 1800UTC the forth Saturday in June. I worked 40m PSK31 (a digital mode more (transmitter) power efficient than CW (heard in this lesson with a little QRM (noise))). I made 19 QSOs (Contacts) before I went to bed at about 0500UTC. After I woke up (about 1030UTC) I made a few more contacts on 20m. (40m was kinda dead) You figured me out, Liz-san.

It's a quick fix and can be quickly reuploaded. It's worth the effort.:evil: I think the mistake with the slow version and the translation introductions should be corrected, especially since this is a newbie lesson.

Perhaps we now know the chief's real name. :grin: Peterさん

As far as my decoding at the end (I had my laptop do the work), it was fading out, making the software loose it a bit, and it may have been the start of another letter. E and T are very similar when isolated, E is a dit (short sound) and T is a dah (long sound). I just listened again, and it sounds like my laptop may have been picking up extra noise, as the last charecter my ears are hearing is O (dah dah dah). The DE KC8UFV at the end of my first post on this topic, however, does have meaning. It is a BIG hint at one of my hobbies, which is regulated here (USA) by the FCC, and in Japan by the MIC, and by similar parts of the government in other countries.

At first I thought it was something interfering with my FM transmitter, but it consistently was in the same spot. I agree completely with first/last name being confusing. This is why I prefer given name and (sur/family) name. Now, if only I were aware of an alternative for middle name. maxiewawa-san-

I can say with less than 100% certainty: 昭和58年の生まれです。1982年。正解かどうかわからない。 I was born in 1982. So I hope my maths is right. I should say that my 出身 is Sydney, not 終身。 I have some weird EQ filter envelope going on in my lesson... All the mid frequencies drop out at one point, and Peter sounds like he's underwater... I was checking everything on my computer, and I guess it must be the recording... very House Music though! Finally, ちょっと意見：Don't use 'first name' and 'last name' when speaking about Japanese names. It's always confusing. When people get into the habit of telling me 'this is my first name' it always puts me into a muddle... I always want to ask 'so do you mean first name from an asian perspective, with your last name first, or with your first name first, as we do in the west? Is it your First name or just the name you put first when you're using an Asian perspective?' Often I'm talking to someone whose English isn't so good, so that just completely confuses them. Now whenever I heard 'last name' and 'first name', my brain just gets the biological equivalent of the windows blue screen of death and I have to reboot to get things running again. For all you mac users, the blue screen of death is when your computer just stops working, and only starts working again when you kick it repeatedly. 実は秘密じゃなくて、習字には弱い。
