Dear Bill:
Thank you for sending ROAR Net report
every week. I'm transferring your report to ROAR-J net
every time.
We had AGM in Hakodate, Hokkaido (JA8
area) on 7-8th July '07. I'll send you the report and
photos later but
as Teru/JM2HBO reported, we had big typhoon on 5-6th July.
Several members who intended to join to the AGM had to
cancel because of flight cancellation by the typhoon.
After the AGM, we had big earthquakes in
Niigata area (JA0 area). 10 people (all over 71 years old)
died and
several hundred people injured by the earthquakes. Very
fortunately, none of ROAR-J members suffered by it.
Best 73! from Japan. JH1NVZ Tim Masuda
