Yugi-higashi Labo of Ku-chu-sen (wire in the sky=antenna)
This page also serves as the page for JQ1YLK ( Yugi-higashi Residents’ Council Amateur Radio Club, to which the site owner belongs)
In amateur radio, the “antenna” is an important device that acts as the entrance and exit point for radio waves. There are various products available in addition to radio equipment, but unless you have a large plot of land and can build a tall antenna tower, in the Yugi-higashi area of Tama New Town, such people are in the minority. I’ve been racking my brains day and night (?) trying to find a way to put up an antenna that will work as well as possible in a tiny space, such as a balcony or a private garden in an apartment complex.
