A QRZ (short for "who is this") log entry!
Here's a breakdown of the information:
* **23:10**: Time in UTC, indicating that the transmission occurred at 11:10 PM.
* **7K1VKU/1**: The callsign of the station transmitting. A Japanese amateur radio operator (7K1VKU) operating as a /1, suggesting they're using a single transmitter or antenna.
* **JP-1193**: A locator code that indicates the approximate geographic location of the transmitter, in this case Makuhari Seaside Prefectural Park, which is in Chiba Prefecture (JP-CH), Japan. Locator codes are used to identify specific locations on Earth for amateur radio and emergency communication purposes.
* **21040.0**: The frequency being transmitted on, in this case a CW (Continuous Wave) transmission at 21.040 MHz.
* **CW RBN 12 dB 24 WPM**: This indicates that the transmission is a Morse code (CW) signal with:
+ A signal report of 12 dB, which estimates the strength of the signal.
+ A speed of 24 words per minute (WPM), which is the rate at which the Morse code is being transmitted.
* **via BD4QJP-#[BD4QJP-#]**: The transmission is being relayed through a repeater station with the callsign BD4QJP. The hashtag (#) indicates that this is an automated system or a network.
So, in summary, 7K1VKU/1 transmitted on 21.040 MHz at 23:10 UTC from Makuhari Seaside Prefectural Park (JP-1193), using CW with a signal report of 12 dB and a speed of 24 WPM, relayed via the BD4QJP repeater network.
