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。

I think that I owe many people teaching me how enjoyable contesting is. Thus I decided to support various things of YCP this time. It is because I thought youths who are interested in DX contests and decided to participated in YCP can enter a new world, and I can do something as a repay for people who have supported me by doing so.

I think youths who involved in YCP this time faced many difficulties … logging software which they are not used to, beam antennas which has strong directivities, grasping the condition, pile-ups, accents, etc. However, as they made QSOs more, they increasingly got the hang of it, and were having more fun. Looking at them, I felt that their future are bright.

I hope that they will tell how fun ham radio is to their friends.

今まで沢山の方に，コンテストの醍醐味を惜しみなく教えて頂いたことで，今の私があります．

そこで今回は，YCPの中ではサポート役に回ることにしました．DXコンテストに興味を持って自ら参加した若手らに新たな世界を体験して頂くため，そして今までお世話になった方々への恩返しとなれば，と考えたからです．

参加者の皆さんにとって，国内コンテストでは馴染みがないロギングソフト，鋭い指向性を持つビームアンテナ，コンディションの把握，指定無視の嵐，各国特有の英語の発音，戸惑うことが沢山あったのではないかと思います．しかし，QSO数を重ねるうちに段々とコツをつかみ，楽しめるようになっていくのを見て，とても頼もしく感じました．

今後も同世代のハム仲間に，感じた楽しさをどんどん伝えて貰えれば幸いです．
