News from J5C team received today 15th at 10:30z

On 14th January 2008, morning at 1020z, we had 18,051 QSO in our log which is a rate of ± 7,000 QSO per day.
The Internet link is repaired. The online log had been updated at Jan 14th morning.
We have not had any equipment failure, everything is working as expected. Everybody is in good shape.

Low bands conditions got slightly worse with Kp, fluctuating between 2 and 4, our late night hours are more noisy than the early evening hours. 80 and 160m signals reports are good and we managed to do the first JA-J5 contact (QSO Masaki, JH4UYB and not JH4UHB as it was indicated before) on topband suring our first night with a big JA pile-up.

We are paying attention to areas with short propagation openings, we thank you for your patience for standing-by when we are making selective calls to these regions.

Thank you for your feedbacks and messages on our guestbook.
The well known DX bulletin writer Yosi, JA3AAW, yesterday : said
