Welcome to PE1RAH

Amateur search…

 Last summer holidays I have been to Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

As a radio amateur one of the things that get attention is of course any kind of suspected amateur activities J

I have not met any amateurs in all of the three countries, but I found two interesting things. Unfortunately, in both cases I was not able to contact the radio amateurs L

But what I have done is make some pictures, and I hope with these pictures I can still get in contact with them J

 

The first sign of amateur activity I have seen in Korea at Suwon city, while I was walking along the “Hwaseong Fortress” . While I was walking behind the walls of the fortress I seen at the the houses below a small plate with HL2ABF on it J The plate was very small, but with my camera I was able to zoom it in and make a picture of it.

At that time I had not much time for a visit because in short time I had to go back to my friend in Seoul, and nobody seemed to be home, and I decided to go on. The other day I searched on the internet to find any address or email (so he/she could maybe help me to be qrv from HL) but everything failed. I have no callbook, and www.qrz.com  can’t find the address ether. When you have any information about HL2ABF please tell me, then I will send him/her the picture as surprise J 

 

My second suspected amateur activity I noticed in Taiwan, in Taipei city. This amateur must be active via satellite or EME, what was very interesting for me to see in Taipei city !!

The antennas I spotted already during my first “look around”, and it was not far away from my hotel, so I tried several times to trace the amateur owner J

To find this amateur it was impossible because the  problem was finding people who understand English and something about HAM radio, and willing to search the owner of the antennas for me.

When looking at the picture you can see the antennas are pointed into the sky, and they are mounted on an elevation rotor (looked like KENPRO/YAESU), what means satellite or EME.

The antennas are not two different bands, what more looks like EME activity.

Taipei is a large city and it can be many amateurs, and therefore I put a “x” on the city-road map I had of Taipei J

Maybe some amateurs in Taipei city can find out who is this amateur, so I can  send him/her my picture as surprise J

The location is at the end of the “GungGuan night market”.  Not far at the other end of the “Gunguan night market” there is the ShungShan train station.

 

Please let me know if you have any information…

You can contact me via email : [email protected]

My postal address you can find via www.qrz.com
