My first overseas trip was to West Germany in 1976. This time, US1$ was equal to JPYEN 310 (4 times more expensive than now), so I thanked my parents who gave me this opportunity to go abroad, when I was 20 years old. I visited Aschaffenburg, where my uncle's family lived, and I had received German Amateur Radio Licence (JE1BQE/DL) there.
I met some Amateur Radio Operators there, who were Sigi (DK9FN), Holger (DF2FQ) and Bernhard (DF5FJ) from Seligenstadt. We quickly became good friends, and our friendship is continued.
Bernhard and his wife Elke (DL1ZBT) named their children, my name "Hideyuki", my father's name "Toshio" and my brother's name "Naoyuki", as their middle names. These children are also Amateur Radio Operators, Andreas (DO1XAT), Christoph (DO5CT), and Daniel (DO7DT).
As Thiem Family is pro-Japanese, they have a beautiful Japanese garden at their house.
Bernhard is good at designing micro controller circuits, and he has been helping my job in Germany.
