Good stuff there. Do you need permission to broadcast from these sites? I've tried to get permission to use a photography drone but they have been all turned down so far ! :). If you want to email direct for anything please use "eric -at-mark - jcastle.info"

Hi, thanks for sharing your article! I found it very interesting. There is also a Japanese Castle Facebook group if you are interested to join. There are some people in the Kansai area who often talk about visits too. Sometimes the castle discussion may get a bit deep but it is fun even just to lurk. I don't comment much but I know the main members well and we usually get together at the yearly Castle Travel Expo in Yokohama. I also know a Japanese guy in Saitama who is a big castle fan and ham radio operator (? I think) his call sign is JE1CMG if that is of any interest to you. I suspect he only speaks Japanese however. The Japanese Castle Facebook page is here https://www.facebook.com/groups/japanesecastles You will see me comment as Eric Obershaw
Eric,
It looks like I missed your first reply....
Thanks for permission. I will try to visit one castle per month and operate there....but Covid19 has added some complications. The first article was about Sonobe castle and the next one is about Fukuchiyama castle. I would like to take a quick break and talk about planning and preparing for portable ham radio operation, and want to talk about Jcastles and how much information you can get for your planning. I really like the site!
Thanks again, and be safe...
Greg
yes, of course! Please feel free to share. It's on the internet for anyone to see as long a they don't wholesale use my photos or text as they own.
Hi Eric,
I operate ham radio from castle sites in the Kansai area and then write an article about it on a ham radio website. I would like to introduce Jcastle to the readers, and include a link to your site. I hope this will be OK and would like to discuss this with you.
Thanks,
Greg
