Yokohama near Tokyo. I've started putting together a photo
album of some of the activity there, including photos of
the new Yaesu FT-897, the Icom IC-7400 and IC-756ProII, and
some small portable antenna ideas.

Perhaps the wildest thing I've seen so far is JA1IXI's
Firefly-II (http://www.OnJapan.net/2001/hamfair/qrp.html)
self-powered CW transmitter. Pumping the key to send Morse
also drives a small plunger up and down that runs a generator in the
base of the rig... to make the power to get that CW on the air!"
