Mr. RADIO-The Real ICHIRO!

This evening while on top of Mt. Tsukuba, I met this very interesting

man who`s name is Ichiro Okamura. Ichiro-san holds a Master license

of Japanese Amateur Radio (1.9MHz-77GHz), which allows him to talk

to the very few others with a very narrow beam of micro-wave radio. He

also owns many other types of radio communication equipment along

with assortment of radio antennas that is jammed packed in his car.
