I am pleased to announce that Katsuhiro “Don” Kondou, JH5GHM, has agreed to join the CQ WW DX Contest Committee. We have been looking for a JA representative to replace Tack, JE1CKA, since he left the committee last Fall. \u00a0Don has been helpful with the CQ WPX Contest and I am sure he will add a valuable Japanese perspective to the Committee.<\/p>\n
Don received his first operator license in 1978 and soon got a station license (JH5GHM) in early 1979.\u00a0 He started DXing and contesting in 1979. Like many of us, his first contest was CQ WW SSB.\u00a0 \u201cDuring my campus life in Tokyo Institute of Technology I devoted myself to contests as JA1YAD.\u00a0 After graduation, my radio life…was totally dormant from early 90’s until 2010.\u00a0 In the early summer of 2010, my wife woke my radio life up and rebooted me.\u00a0 Since then I’ve been catching up on lost 20 years and trying to be in any of the major contests.\u201d<\/p>\n
Welcome aboard Katsuhiro-san.<\/p>\n
