    "My God, it's full of Yagis!"

    Dashtoons' JA Rover robot probe Satisfaction successfully impacted Planet 日本, King of All Ham Radio Worlds 0400-ish UTC January 4th.

    First picture of the landing is reproduced here and the complete story thus far is now playing at Dashtoons.

    Conducted by DASHA in coordination with the Pet Propulsion Laboratory, headed by Maximum Mission Director Dr. Dashiell Hammutt, this great leap for hamkind heralds a new communications paradigm in which actual Japanese ham radio lingo will be brought back for study and possible application in ham internet chat and QSL card comments – a bit of wasbi to spice up the same old 599s and BCNUs, or something. Like, when we started firing off all them war surplus V-2s, who knew the upshot would be Tang?

    Shouldn't this have been "it's full of Udas"?

    Cute, and slightly less injurious to the incoming explorers than a continent full of verticals would be.

    Like the U.S. in, say, 1977 - at the zenith of the CB boom.

    Oh, I think fringe reception areas before cable TV outnumbered those 11 Meter Udas.

    Tnx Gang! No, not published in Japan yet, but an OM can dream, eh? Be nice to have the books in Japanese, as eBooks, but fuggetabout print. That's not even viable in English.

    Yah,Yagi Uda, ha! Well, Yagi works both sides of the Pacific and I did have a bamboo beam already drawn, so rather than draw different Udas I took the copy and paste path of least resistance.

    Joined a Japanese ham Facebook group, shared this and other material and received a lot of favorable reaction. Some speak English, a few work in the US and Google Translate works well enough to chat after a fashion, always at risk though of telling someone their mother eats skunk cabbage.

    Hey, my muddah eats skunk cabbage! You gotta problem widdat??
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
