Now we’d like to show one of messages from YCP participants at WPX SSB on this March.

YCP参加者（３月のWPX SSB）から送られてきたメッセージのひとつをご紹介しましょう。

There are many things to do in the world of ham radio, and every fields are very deep. It made me hesitate from doing new things, and DX contests was exactly one of these for me.

Six years have passed since I started ham radio. What I regularly do is domestic QSOs, so I was always unrest because of the callsigns which I’m not used to, but I feel happy because I had an invaluable experience.

There are few people who are involved in ham radio in our generation, so we often don’t have people like a teacher around us. So I feel thankful because I could knew each other with other youngsters, and because I could learn techniques from experienced people.

無線の世界は裾野が広く，またそれぞれ非常に奥行きもあります．それだけにどうしても自分では手を出す事が億劫になってしまい，後回しになってしまう分野も出てきてしまいます．私にとってのDXコンテストがまさにそれでした．

無線の世界に飛び込んでから6年，普段は国内QSOばかりであるため，慣れないコールサインが飛び交うことに終始動揺が収まりませんでしたが，大変貴重な経験を積むことができ嬉しく思います．

我々の世代は無線人口自体も少なく，また身の回りに師匠たる存在が居ない場合も多いです．このような場で同世代の面々と知り合い，また大先輩の皆様から教わることができるのは大変有り難いことだと感じています．
