ALL ASIAN DX CONTEST CW 2016

We, Yokohama Ham Group (JH1YNY, ex-NEC Yokohama Amateur Radio Club) were on the air in All Asian DX Contest CW 2016 on June 18 and 19. 
We ended up with poor 60 QSOs. 
We were running about 50W into a homebrew G5RV for 40m and a tri-bander for 20m through10m. They worked well, but propagation was poor and so we made merry in a drinking party at a hilltop radio shack instead.



Entry category: M/M ( Multi operator Multi TX )





Our old ICOM IC-706 and a straight key... sending Morse codes with my own hand ( had a problem with an automatic CW transmission software... hahaha)



The operation was deadly dull... there were 4 operators at the shack but single operator enough for QSOs.
Chilled sweet.. わらび餅... traditional bracken-starch dumpling for a breather.


We, 4 radio operators and a young lady (a daughter of an operator) had a drinking party on the first night in the contest... very merry funny party ...hahaha, unfortunately !!!! NO PHOTO !!! 
Though we got a low score, we had a fun time in the contest
