| CRSA President Visits JARL |
| On October 29, Mr. Zhao Mingyu, President of Chinese Radio Sports Association,
visited JARL headquarters. He was planning to come to Japan to attend Ham
Fair 2001, a big annual summer event which was held in Yokohama from August
31 through September 2, but he couldn't arrange to visit at that time due
to his schedule. This time, he came to Japan on an other business trip
and took advantage of this opportunity to visit JARL. |

| Mr. Zhao first observed the JARL's amateur satellite control room.
It controls amateur satellite "JAS-2," which was successfully
put into space in 1996 on an H-II launch vehicle from Tanegashima Space
Center of NASDA. It succeeded "JAS-1b," which was launched in
1990. Both of them are still functioning in orbit. Next Mr. Zhao visited
the JARL Exhibition Room adjoining JARL's headquarters in Sugamo, Toshima-ku,
Tokyo that displays a vast array of equipment, such as Japan's earliest
amateur radio transmitter, new and old wireless units (from the early 1900s
to the present), vacuum tubes and parts, international literature, shields,
pennants, postage stamps, etc., under the guidance of Mr. Hara, JA1AN,
President of JARL. Mr. Hara exchanged views with Mr. Zhao about the future
of amateur radio, and gave him a tour of the Akihabara electronics district
where he enjoyed to the fullest the experience of the largest electronic
sales zone in Asia! |
