Hi welcome to the web of ZL2PGJ

Yahoo!アバター

This is ZL2PGJ Korin Tsuruta. QTH of ZL era were Napier and Gisborne of North Is.
Ham since 1992 (7L2PGJ / 2kyu class of JA) and ZL license since 2002 (General). My XYL is 7L2PGK, ham since 1992.
My XYLand I started from 1,200MHz motor cycle FM mobile for our convenient motor cycle touring. In huge traffic jam of JA, we often missing each other, so to prevent this unhappy tour we became hams. After I got ham license, we lost chances of motor cycle touring due to my ham activities. (Anyway she had busy time for education in universities) Regret to say, I had no motor cycle in ZL but I have enjoyed another driving pressures in my garage, Toyota MR2.

Gisborne is almost east end of ZL. Gisborne is agricultural area and many crops ships to overseas from plenty fields but the name of this region is Poverty Bay. In 1769, Capt James Cook landed Gisborne as a first visitor from Europe. In the day, he and his team were kicked out by local native people without supply of foods and water. So, he put the name Poverty Bay on this plenty land!!.

End of 2005, I relocated to JA due to my business reason and temporary closed my ZL ham activities. Now, I live in JA, near Tokyo. I will start my 7L2PGJ activity soon with TVI ...... Hundreds of families have life within 100m radius.....
